    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support this Bill. It is the Bill of our Committee. It is a Bill that we have to support with all the passion. We have to be more open minded when we are looking at these issues. First of all, on the fines, everybody is looking at the fines from a personal perspective but we were looking at the fines from a broader perspective. Consider a false publication against a corporate or an institution. If someone says a certain chocolate is causing cancer, what impact does that publication have to that company? That is why we had to put serious fines. That is why we had to give the judge the discretion to decide whether it is personal false information or corporate one that is affecting millions of shillings. We had to cater for it. We are also looking at cyber espionage. The other day, on 14th March this year, you saw the Business Daily publishing that we are under threat. It reported that there is someone who has been operating in Kenya for the last six years getting information to benefit a foreign nation and is getting money from the crime of spying for another nation."
