    "content": "The House can recall that we passed the Access to Information Act, 2016 in the 11th Parliament which implemented Article 35 of the Constitution on access to information. Once we passed that law in 2016, we ought to have followed it up with data protection piece of legislation. I am sure individual Members of Parliament did not raise that legislative proposal and the Government took long to come up with it. We have it now and we must deal with it. At that time, we told Kenyans how they could access information, but we did not formulate the mechanism or parameters to protect that information which is the obligation of the State. Under Article 35 of the Constitution on access to information, the State has an obligation to provide required information to all citizens. As the Legislature, we failed to formulate the mechanism to protect that information or data and its controllers or processors."
