    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I also stand to oppose. The Chairman of the Departmental Committee in charge of security wants to give the security agencies a blank cheque. Look at Sub-clause (4) which he wants to delete. It says: “A court may, on reasonable ground being disclosed, allow a person who has qualified under sub-section 2(a) or (b) access and copy data on the system.” When a security officer comes to your house with a search warrant and intends to pick certain computer gadgets, it is within the rights of that person to record, because you never know that the moment you take those gadgets and equipment, more things can be added. So, we must also protect that person where the seizure is being done. We have seen a situation where people can even put guns in your house. That is completely against fair administrative justice. I want the Chairman, this time, to agree with us that we should not give security agents a blanket cheque on the pretext…If it is the KRA, for example, and they feel that you are involved in tax evasion, it is just important that that person copies the information that you are taking so that you can use it in a court of law. You cannot just take his things and say, “I found the following things,” which he is not aware of. So, I agree with the Chairman of the Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation. I want to ask the Chairman of the Committee on Administration and National Security that we should not go to the extent of putting the question. He can as well just drop that amendment.
