    "content": "people or organisation that would like to manage effectively their business would realise that ideas alone without data and figures would not make a very big difference. Looking at the Bill, I want to thank the committee and indicate that there has been very critical thinking and useful information. Not only are we saying we would like to have a data protection commissioner, because we would like to have an office where the work would be handled from, but also we are coming up with regulations that would manage from the point of view of those who are involved in data processing and from the point of view of those who are going to control this. The Bill clearly takes into account the management of data as not only a legal matter but a matter that concerns a diverse array of issues. As we have heard here, it deals with issues that relate to finances, when we are talking about banks; it deals with issues of employment, when we are looking at factories and other kinds of bodies; it will indeed deal with many other areas from which we get information for public management. Therefore, I would like as I support this Bill to indicate that I do so knowing that it is not only going to address a very pressing matter, from both public and personal perspectives, but indeed that the Bill has taken into account to help us see that there are principles and obligations that we would need to look at depending on whether we are dealing with personal data or public data. That will also ensure that we find grounds that will prevent the misuse of personal data. Further, if we were to find that there would be those who want to try and escape responsibility or take advantage so that the law and law enforcement agencies would not be able to catch up with them, it is clearly stipulated that this is something that would be taken care of. It is a good thing that sometimes you could be a professor and then you end up being a student. Once upon a time, I was a professor and the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Duale, would look at me with a lot of respect and I would have to understand that I was the one in charge. However, in this House, there is a way in which I have become a very good student. I understand that there is a sense in which when we are discussing a Motion and what I am talking about, to a large extent, has already been shared, then I only agree with what has been said. I support this Bill. I would like to stop at this point to enable other discussions to take place. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
