    "content": " Hon. Musimba, with a lot of respect, I do not think that this House has considered any matter casually. Everything that is considered by this House is done so with due respect because this is a House of Parliament. Everything that is considered in this House is given the weight that it deserves. We cannot consider anything casually. Be that as it may, I will now issue a Communication from the Chair regarding the proposed amendments to the Computer and Cybercrimes Bill (National Assembly Bill No.36 of 2017). I wish to report to the House that on 20th April 2018, the Speaker received notice from the Member for Kibwezi West Constituency, Hon. Patrick Musimba, intending to propose amendments to the Computer and Cybercrimes Bill (National Assembly Bill No.36 of 2017) at the Committee Stage. In his opinion, the Speaker noted that some of the proposed amendments were substantive and had a money Bill effect to the extent that they proposed to create an institution on cybersecurity. In this regard, the Speaker directed that: (a) The proposed amendments be subject to the provisions of Standing Order No.131 or that those with a money Bill effect be moved by the Chairpersons of the relevant Committees and failure to which, the amendments be stayed and not included for consideration. (b) The proposed amendments that have no money Bill effect be carried by the Member for Kibwezi West subject to harmonising with those of the Committees. Hon. Members, I am glad to inform the House that my office has received information that the amendments were discussed in a forum comprising of the Chairpersons of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security and the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation and the Mover of the amendments, Hon. (Dr.) Patrick Musimba. It was agreed that: (i) The amendments proposing to create an institution of cybersecurity will be moved by the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security; (ii) The amendments relating to offences included in the amendments proposed by the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation be moved by that Chairperson; (iii) The amendments relating to cybercrime offences and not included in the amendments proposed by the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation be moved separately by Hon. Musimba. It is for this reason that I have allowed the Chairs of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security and Departmental Committee on Communication, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
