"content": "name or company or family has been brought to social media? We need to protect the public and the privacy of the people. As an MP, I create time for my family. I take a photo with my family maybe while on holiday. I have taken care of my family budget. People take that photo and put it on social media and say this MP is enjoying while people are dying of hunger or thirst. You become afraid to even take your family on holiday because once they discover and get the photo, they put it on social media and embarrass all your family members. We need to protect the privacy of the people. As much as we want to be open as leaders for the public to scrutinise our lifestyle, it should not go to the extent of showing our family photos and embarrassing our children. We need to give direction. That is why we are MPs and leaders. We need to give direction, protect the innocent and the security of the people so that this country can run in an efficient manner. It is good to use social media. We do not ignore that. We get information about our constituencies and nation from social media. There is an area that we need to curb especially with regard to private issues such as our bank accounts. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, during the campaign, my opponent went to the bank and got the balances in my accounts. He said that I could not even run a one-week campaign because the people in the bank revealed to him what was in my account which was very bad. We need to protect people so that they can enjoy their time."
