    "content": "I have heard comments from some of the Members in terms of what this is. When I read the Bill, these are exactly the issues that the Bill is seeking to bring. If you look at the Fourth Schedule, for example, which is now a new thing, it brings in the fundamental principles of official statistics. It brings into place the issue of confidentiality, professionalism and the whole point of sharing data internationally, including how it is collected. The Bill is well crafted. I am very happy with it. Most important is the fact that we will now have a modern legal framework for data collection, storage and dissemination. We are now saying that all the data that is collected by the KNBS is confidential and cannot be used except for statistical purposes. It even criminalises use of that data, say, by legal enforcement agencies like the Kenya Revenue Authority in assessing you. Whatever data is collected can only be used for statistical purposes. The import of this is that Kenyans will now be freer with responses. They will be more forthright with the information that they give to the KNBS."
