    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I, too, stand to support and say that it has come at the right time. As noted by my colleagues, it is in compliance with international standards. This country is replete with cases of misuse of data. Politicians have a lot of times been victims of misuse of this data. In this world of social media, we have seen highly classified information circulating in the media even before the recipient receives it from highly placed offices. As has been said, you have seen criminals from Kamiti sending us messages through our phones with our full details. You have seen companies supposedly from outside Kenya sending us funny messages that we have won different awards and you wonder how this information has come to them. You have seen information with data from the banks circulating in places that you never imagine that your data would be or even results of candidates flying all over the place from highly classified quarters. It has been unfortunate for this country. When we finally have this Bill in place, hopefully, its implementation will be swift. This is so that, for once, you have the right to know why data is being asked for so that you have the right to ask for information to be deleted. We have seen information that is false. Some people have been convicted on false information. One will have a right to delete this information. It is timely. Not to spend too much time and repeat what my colleagues have said, I support and congratulate the Committee that has come up with it. Thank you very much."
