    "content": "The last part provides for offences including unlawful disclosure of personal data. These days a blogger or a Government agency can put personal data on their pages. How do you deal with that? Do they have powers to make it public? Can they make unlawful disclosure of personal data? There are general penalties in that last section and development of codes. In that area, we will bring some amendments. The Committee has recommended 2 per cent, but it depends on the size of a company. When you talk about the turnover of a company, to some companies, 2 per cent is too small while in others, it is big when you compare both multinationals and the small and medium companies. From the foregoing, this is, indeed a very elaborate Bill in terms of implementation of Article 31(c) and (d) of the Constitution on the rights to privacy. It will certainly make an impact in the manner in which personal information of Kenyans is stored, handled, transferred and maintained in a manner that is in conformity with the Bill of Rights, the Constitution and the relevant laws. That is the highlights of this important Bill. I ask the Chair to second and give Committee’s recommendations and what the stakeholders, both public and private, and other participants who either sent their memorandum or appeared before the Committee, said. I can assure the House that when we come to the Committee of the whole House, maybe late next week, we will make sure that all their concerns are taken care of. I beg to move and ask Hon. Kisang, the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation, to second."
