"content": "This Bill will deal with those people who create fake news. It will also deal with those who use technology in the wrong way like what happened to the Deputy Governor of Kirinyaga County. It will also deal with those guys who said that people were dead 10 times when they were still alive. This law will deal all the fraud that is taking place in the financial sector. This Bill will deal with all those who use technology to radicalise and recruit our youngsters into terrorism. I am sure that the famous bloggers are watching me. You have three or four days to do whatever you want before the law comes into effect. We want the social media to be used very responsibly. It is a very integral part of the society when it is used responsibly. The Constitution is very clear that you must respect the freedom of others. Where your freedom ends is where the freedom of the other person begins. Those who run their businesses, families and get their daily food by using the social media platforms which are available for constructive engagement were using it to create fear, extort, blackmail, stalk and destroy families. We are giving the people of Kenya a piece of legislation today that will create harmony, stability and give us people to offer constructive and reasonable criticisms where it is needed."
