    "content": "It is important to note that the Data Protection Bill will curb some of these vices that have been going on. The protection of privacy is in Chapter Four of the Constitution in the Bill of Rights. Basically, the Bill seeks to give effect to Article 31 (c) and (d) on the right to privacy. Article 31 of the Constitution says every person has the right to privacy, which includes the right not to have information relating to their family or private affairs unnecessarily required or revealed. That means that the continuous seeking for information from people needs to be controlled. Every time you go anywhere, including to a supermarket and you are required to fill a form, you are supposed to give your age, gender, marital status, which can be used by people looking for spouses, and financial status. You are even asked the amount of money you earn. Obviously, that information, if put out there can be critical. Sometimes, you are even asked about your medical history, maybe, for insurance purposes. These can actually be misused. This Bill deals with data that is out there. You may be put in a situation where you have to share data which may be revealed to people who do not deserve. I remember recently, there 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."
