    "content": "There is the issue of oversight. How much are we deploying into the cyber space? In relation to our GDP right now, it is negligible. I really want to thank His Excellency the President because the other day, he woke up and directed the Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK) to give Kshs1 billion to the DCI to boost his ability to combat cybercrimes. It just shows you some few tips. Countries like the United Kingdom (UK) invest in excess of British Pounds £1.9 billion every year to combat cybercrimes. The United States of America (USA), which has a large GDP, recognises the place of these things. It exceedingly puts in excess of US$19 billion a year to guard its critical infrastructure. I will show you the level of devastation. We had Westgate and Mandera attacks. How were these people able to attack us? It was about access to data, knowing the patterns of people who visit the places and the maximum damage they can do at whatever time. So, these systems had already been penetrated for them to have an effective attack that would take us hours to try and resolve. So, cybercrime needs to be treated with that sort of mentality because we are at war with the Al Shabaab today. In fact, anyone who stands and says that he wants to challenge the security of this nation through weakening this Bill should know that it amounts to treason because we are already at a warfront with the Al Shabaab in Somalia. We are looking at nifty ways. We have guarded our borders. So far, the security apparatus has done a real commendable job, but where we stand is the next frontier.
