    "content": "It comes at a time when we have seen a lot of abuse of the social media and use of information and communication technology in this country. This week, we witnessed a very sad and unfortunate incident involving a gentleman from Kirinyaga County. I am not speaking of this because I am a man or because the person affected is a public officer. The Bill speaks to issues to do with pornography. Whoever a person may be, whether a public officer or not, he is a father and someone who has a wife and a family. We are not doing this to just protect a man’s or a lady’s privacy. What we are doing to the social fabric of our nation using social media is unfortunate. I hope this law will not just be one of the laws that will exist in our statute books but it will be used to check degradation of our social fabric. Abuse of social media is destroying not just families but our children and the social fabric of our nation. As we grew up, there were things which would not happen. You would not walk into a room when your father was there naked. However, we now take videos of naked fathers and mothers and broadcast them for very young child to see. We must bring this to an end. I pray that this law will be enforced and put into good use to check on this abuse. The issue of where the Bill is domiciled is not important. I have been a victim of these things. I speak with authority, having suffered as a result of things being sent to my phone."
