• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: If for whatever reason, you want to find out, for example, the number of Chinese doctors practicing in Kenya it might be difficult to access that information. Once we ensure that the commission that is responsible for the protection of both personal data and what will be considered national data, the information will be easily and readily available for us, so that as a country, we can make sound decisions and know the things we speak about. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: We make a lot of noise as parliamentarians, leaders and members of the society about, for example, the influx of Chinese. Imagine how beautiful it would be if today we speak about exact and specific numbers. If somebody said that we have 345,000 Chinese in this country doing work that ordinarily would have been done by fellow Kenyans, the whole country will be in uproar. As you understand, the only time the Government seems to listen is when the whole country is up in arms. They can get away with that problem right now because all we are quoting are ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: (e) information shall not be kept for a longer period than is necessary for achieving the purpose for which it was collected; (f) information shall not be distributed in a manner that is incompatible with the purpose for which it was collected with the consent of the person and subject to any notification that would attract objection; (g) reasonable steps shall be taken to ensure that the information processed is accurate, up to date and complete; (h) appropriate technical and organisational measures shall be taken to safeguard the data subject against the risk of loss, damage destruction of or unauthorized ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: If, for example, you want to find out how many people were born Muslims and have now converted to Christianity or vice versa, make the information easily available. Such information should easily be processed by a person whose function relates to special information if under the law it is publicly available or for research and statistical purposes. It is important so that even when our policy makers sit down to determine what is good and right for the country, they are properly informed. Of course, our institutions will greatly benefit. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: Clause 32 provides that the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) shall be the entity responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Act. Clause 33(1) states that- “The functions of the Commission shall be to– (a) promote the protection and observance of the right to privacy; (b) monitor, investigate and report on the observance of the right to privacy; (c) formulate, implement and oversee programmes intended to raise public awareness of the right to privacy and obligations; (d) receive and investigate any complaint relating to infringement of the rights of a person under this Act; (e) provide a framework ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: up to the headline that 65 MPs suffer from cancer. That might be true or not, but of what use is it to the country for someone to reveal the health status of people without getting their consent? Therefore, it is proper for it to be housed under the KNCHR, the body that takes care of all the other human rights under our progressive Constitution, in Chapter Four on the Bill of Rights. This is a cardinal one and I think it is important. Part V of the Bill is about Miscellaneous Provisions. Clause 38 (1) states that- “A person ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: Sen. Nyamunga and company. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: The people of Kisumu. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to distinguish between the phishing of data and fishing of fish. Therefore, I chose to use the economic activity mostly undertaken by my neighbours. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: No, Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka. At this moment, I do not want to talk about fishers of men and women. This is because Justice Wakiaga told us that those fishers of men are mainly the “ slay kings ” and “slay queens ”. Those are not the ones I am referring to this afternoon. People who engage in such vices should be thoroughly punished. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a fine of Kshs500,000 and five years in prison or both is a slap on the wrist based on the offence. We are all aware of a classic case that went to the ... view
