    "content": "conducted and within which certain provisions will be given for processing, oversight and enforcement. The Senate Committee on Information, Communication and Technology is very pleased to have worked on this Bill. We look forward to passing it, so that it opens the way for economic activities. Many companies that came before us to give their inputs during the public hearing were very proud of the fact that we have made this first bold step. This was in line with what the Bill provides; that our personal data and space for e- commerce have an enabling environment and framework within which the country can trade with others. With regard to economic partnership agreements with other countries, right now everybody will be asking--- The other day, I had to fill a form on personal data online for a certain graduation. It included a photograph which will be used on the said event. These are good things and the way to way to go. We are looking forward to a situation where Kenya will have a framework within which we can do all these things. This goes hand in hand with cybercrime and other terrorist related issues. We have made very good provisions, such that nobody can impersonate. There will be strict personal data protection laws that will be guided by this Bill. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not wish to belabour this because we all know the importance of data. Data is big money, power and even politics. Big data analytics is the way to go, both in terms of socioeconomic development, politics and everything else, including education and healthcare. I am proud to have been part of this process and the Senate Committee that worked on this. Quite a lot of input has been given to us by many stakeholders. We had one of the most robust stakeholder input. We have finished the report on this. This is a very good piece of legislation that will enable economic development, security, health and all the systems in our county."
