• 22 Nov 2018 in Senate: I thank my colleague Senators who have contributed to this Motion. I have taken note of all the invaluable contributions and input that you have provided. As you can see, Sen. Kihika went through each aspect. In fact, I even forgot to enumerate the VAT aspect. What I remembered to include when moving the Motion was just the duty that was being charged. She has, however, highlighted both the VAT and duty; and when you combine the two, it is no wonder then that 65 per cent of our women cannot access the most basic commodity over which they have ... view
• 22 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, hon. Senators, for your support. I will take on board all your input and great ideas. I look forward to working with you to make sure that our children, girls and ourselves, as women, access these commodities in a dignified manner. I also hope to count on your support to work on our tax regime, which is very punitive. They are not only punitive on sanitary products, but on many things that people have no control over, starting with sanitary products. We will, therefore, make sure that our taxation is gender sensitive; it is sensitive to vulnerable people ... view
• 22 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to reply. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I congratulate my Senator for bringing this all important Statement to the House. Unfortunately, I am not sure if we will get proper execution of this issue under the new Standing Orders. I hope that we can then depart from some of those provisions in order to deal with this issue very well. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we blame everybody else, we, as Senators, should also apportion some blame on ourselves. We know the number one tool of below optimal expenditure or performance is the budget. Sometimes back, ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to move that the Data Protection Bill (Senate Bills No. 16 of 2018) be now read a second time. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: It is my pleasure to move this Bill. The principal object of this Bill is to put in place a legal framework for protection of personal data which recognizes that protection forms an integral part of expectation of rights to privacy provided for under Article 31 of the Constitution. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: This Bill, therefore, seeks to operationalize this Article and regulate the manner in which personal data is collected, used, stored and processed. It also provides for the rights and remedies in relation to protection of personal data. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: Why is this Bill very important? This Bill will have a big impact on the lives of Kenyans, for it will expand their individual rights. It has provision to require an organisation to delete your data if it is incorrect and to object to certain data from being held in custody for any person or organisation. It also provides citizens of this country with the right to require that incomplete data be completed or corrected. It also provides the right to access, which is a constitutional requirement; the right to know that data about the individual is being processed and ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you will see in this Bill, it has an international obligation as well. You will notice that, for example, in the European Union (EU), they have general data protection regulations which set out the framework for doing business within the EU, protecting individual data and putting responsibilities on data subjects, which is the person whose data has been collected, as well as data processors or handlers; the organisations or individuals both public and private that usually hold data about us. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: We have seen a lot of misuse of data and intimidation using data that we give to people. This framework that the Senate is putting in place through the Committee on Information and Communication will provide not only the economic side of things, but also the right side of things for individuals. view
