    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to second this important Motion as moved by the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Duale. The Data Protection Bill, 2019, was sponsored by the Leader of the Majority Party and was read the First Time on 4th July 2019 and subsequently referred to our Committee. From the memorandum of objects and reasons, the principal object of this Bill is to give effect to the right of privacy as provided for in Article 31(c) and (d) of the Constitution. It sets out the protection of personal data processed by both public and private sectors. Further, the Bill outlines the key principles that shall govern the processing of personal data by both private and public sector as outlined by the Leader of the Majority Party. While setting out the rights of data subjects, the data controllers and processors as they handle data, the Bill further seeks to establish the office of the data protection commissioner and sets the mandate of the office which shall include, inter alia, to make provisions for the regulations of the processing of personal data and obligations of data controllers, processors and for connected purposes. On the delegated legislation, the data commissioner, in consultation with the Cabinet Secretary of ICT will make regulations to give effect to this law. The rights of data subjects under this Bill include the right to be informed of the use to which personal data is to be put, right to access personal data in custody of another controller or processor, right to object to processing of all or part of the personal data, right to correction of false or misleading data and the right to deletion of false information or misleading data about the data subject. Sometimes, you might see something going around in the mainstream media or the social media concerning a data subject, but the information is not right. So, the people who are holding the data, the data processors and data controllers or the data subject can appeal through the data commissioner for the information to be updated, deleted or corrected. If you check, many Kenyans have identity cards whose date of birth is 00/00/1967, but there is no date The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
