"content": "We make a lot of noise as parliamentarians, leaders and members of the society about, for example, the influx of Chinese. Imagine how beautiful it would be if today we speak about exact and specific numbers. If somebody said that we have 345,000 Chinese in this country doing work that ordinarily would have been done by fellow Kenyans, the whole country will be in uproar. As you understand, the only time the Government seems to listen is when the whole country is up in arms. They can get away with that problem right now because all we are quoting are statements without numbers or exact figures. We are giving businesses away. There is a gentleman who appeared before us from a company that manufactures Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) cards and urged us to protect them because we are their legislators. He said that they have put us to offices and wondered why we are allowing people from other countries such as Malaysia and Singapore to have access to information, yet if you ask them about citizens of their country, that information will not be readily available. Therefore, this is an extremely important Bill. Part II of the Bill is about objects and principles of protection of personal data. Clause 4 states as follows- “The following principles shall guide the interpretation and application of this Act– (a) information shall be collected, processed, stored or dealt with in any manner if it is necessary for or directly related to a lawfully, explicitly defined purpose and shall not intrude on the privacy of the data subject; (b) information shall be collected directly from and with the consent of the data subject; (c) where information relating to the data subject is held by a third party, the information may only be released to another person or put to a different use with the consent of the data subject; (d) the data subject shall be informed of the purpose to which the information shall be put and the intended recipients of that information at the time of collection; The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
