"content": "sometimes it is secret. He may not divulge everything. You can imagine somebody you do not know has all your details. If they get details of our account names, account numbers, our bank branches and other information, including our personal identification number, we get scammers where money is transferred to accounts. You find yourself a poor person and a beggar all of a sudden yet you work very hard to earn. We have had criminals from other countries that I do not want to mention, but they are known to be very good in cybercrime. That is why we need to protect the data of our citizens. This Bill is very important and we should pass it as soon as possible to protect ourselves. Even individuals in this country are very malicious. We had somebody “ Waziri Chacha ”, who was molesting our female colleagues in this House through cybercrime and through the use of personal data that I do not know where he had collected from. You have heard Hon. Sonko, the Governor of Nairobi, recording almost everybody on phone and threatening and exposing even secret discussions and affairs. We have had him exposing even Members of this House and fellow governors. If this Bill was in force, Sonko would now be serving a jail term. But because we were not able to protect personal data, he is still free and still recording other people. We do not know who else will be recorded. Nowadays I do not call. If he calls me, I put his call off because I do not know what I might say. In the process, you may say other things. As I finish, because I do support 100 per cent, allow me to thank the Thursday’s Parliamentary Forum of Committees, which is very important. We will all participate, especially in the launch of the Kiswahili Standing Orders. Today, I have learnt that Standing Orders does not translate literally to mean amri ya kusimama . It has another very different meaning. We will participate, but I want to ask for your indulgence to let us have sign language interpretation for our brothers and sisters who are blind during that particular forum. We should also have the introduction of Standing Orders in sign language, so that whenever there are proceedings of this House, we have sign language interpreters. We have a deaf community of a million people in the country. They also need to access information since there is a law which says that all print media and audiovisual media must have sign language during their news bulletin. It is important for them to follow the proceeding of their beloved leaders that they have elected. With those very many remarks, I support this Bill 100 per cent. I want to thank the Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation for coming up with this Bill and his excellency, Hon. Duale, who is the Mover of the Bill. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
