    "content": "It is not by law; by law it is Sen. Moi, but by fact, it is Sen. Halake. Madam Temporary Speaker, this Committee is crucial, as we move towards the digital world and making Kenya part of the global village. We need laws to guide this transition towards the digital world. I remember that, that was one of the promises of the Jubilee Government. I am, therefore, happy that this Committee is living up to that mandate. To that end, we also passed the Data Protection Bill yesterday, which is going to protect Kenyans rights to privacy, as it protects our right of association as well. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would urge them, in their way forward, to look at the issue of betting companies and how they use our information that is available to them. They use that information to force Kenyans, directly and indirectly, to bet, consequently making money out of it. Therefore, we should find a way of dealing with this, even if it is by summoning CSs, to see how they are protecting Kenyans from this menace of betting companies. I also thank the Committee for holding several meetings with CSs. That is holding the Executive accountable, which is actually what we should be doing. Thank you."
