Aden Duale","speaker":{"id":15,"legal_name":"Aden Bare Duale","slug":"aden-duale"},"content":" Let me help the Chair. The current position, which the Chair is amending, is that the Director-General of KNBS wants to limit the power of access to information. In the reading of the Committee, that is against a constitutional provision. Am I right, Chair? They are trying to align it with the Constitution that access to information is a right given to the people of Kenya and the Director-General cannot deny them that right. The Chair has reframed it to protect access to information by the people of Kenya."}
