    "content": "the data. Thank you very much, Senator, for bringing that connection between the centrality of the data subjects, their rights and the fact that the determinants of this misuse, is the data itself. If you did not have this data, you would not deny the rights to health, employment, credit and so on. Going forward, in the amendments we will make sure that we think through this Bill knowing that data is the determinant of all these things. Madam Temporary Speaker, from Sen. Kihika‟s submission, we have taken note that at times there was abuse of personal data of public figures. This is a known fact, where people are now living in fear. This is precisely the principle of this Bill and it will take care of some of these things. Everybody will be treated equally. Sen. Kihika also brought out the issue of ensuring robust stakeholder participation. I would like to assure her and the House that we had several levels of stakeholder participation. As I said, there was public participation involving the general public and key stakeholders, including the business community, media and rights groups. We actually opened this to even late submissions by these groups. Again, I would like to assure Sen. Kihika that we will look at the issue around the penalties, use of the words „good faith,‟ need for consent for different uses and the waivers that she proposed. Even if the waiver is done orally, somebody to which that waiver is written must ensure that it is done. I have gone through most of the submissions by the Senators and I thank them very much. This is amazing information that will go a long way in ensuring that this Bill is more robust than it was. It will also add credibility to some of the things that have already been given to us. Every effort was made to ensure that the public has participated and that special interests were also taken care of with regards to individuals, companies and others. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks and a lot of gratitude to all the Senators, I beg to reply. Pursuant to Standing Order 61 (3), I request that the putting of the question on this Bill be deferred to a later date."
