    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, as I also said with regard to leniency, you also see some of these offences where a person is convicted for a fine not exceeding Kshs100,000 or a term of imprisonment not exceeding two years. Again, I honestly think that is way too lenient. The Kshs100,000 is not much for some of those who are breaching data laws and who also stand to profit from that breach. One colleague commented about some studies that were done without disclosing or getting consent of the subjects. I think in this case where maybe it is big multinational companies who want to do some research – where ordinarily, the law must require consent – then you give them a way out. They will be able to do these things without disclosing and without consent and then get these minimal fines. In some cases, like I said, where they have no civil or criminal liability, I think those are the few things that I would want to be amended. We should have stiffer penalties to make people to think twice before breaching the law on data protection."
