• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Senator. That is correct. They were 202 but they have reduced to 164. However, this is the basic 2G that we are talking about and may not enable the kind of infrastructure that we need. The 164 sub-locations are in the hard to reach areas of Isiolo, Turkana, West Pokot, Baringo, part of Kitui, et cetera . This is something that the Committee on Information, Communication and Technology has been following. Hopefully, by the end of the year, the balloons will give 4G and not the basic 2G network. So far, the basic geographical coverage is the basic ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: have given us good ideas. We know that it is feasible, clinically proven and scalable as well. We have the 3G and 4G network hence faster transmission of data. However, the barriers of sustainability are low optimal coverage in some parts of the country, certain legal considerations and data issues which need to be looked at. This is why I am proud of this House for initiating the Data Protection Bill that is now in the National Assembly. I hope that the National Assembly will realise the potential there is in a country to have data protection laws that enable ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to welcome the delegation from Estonia led by the Honorary Consul, who is a good friend of the Committee on Information, Communication and Technology. She has supported our Committee while processing the Data Protection Bill (Senate Bills No. 16 of 2018). view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: Estonia has one of the best data protection laws. We are happy that they are here. My Committee would also like to visit Estonia one of these days. I therefore take this opportunity to welcome the delegation to the Senate and thank them for sharing information with us that has made the Data Protection Bill (Senate Bills No. 16 of 2018) more robust. I look forward to the Bill being passed by the National Assembly. Even though there is a parallel Bill to The Data Protection Bill (Senate Bills No. 16 of 2018), it has had an input from one ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also welcome the students here. I know that they are from many schools, so I take this opportunity to tell them that learning is not just from books. We also learn from exposure. I am happy that they are here to see their legislators doing the work of legislation, oversight and representation. I urge the students to work hard in school and look at Parliament as a place that they can aspire to be. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support and congratulate Sen. Iman for this intervention and Statement on the upcoming National Population and Housing Census 2019. This is a very genuine concern from pastoralists especially during this drought season. For this to happen in one night is a bit unfair and inconsiderate for pastoralists. It is because some of the pastoralists have moved to Ethiopia. As you know, most pastoralists occupy the border counties from the Maasai area bordering Tanzania to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: north eastern area bordering Somalia; to the northern area bordering Ethiopia; and, even Sudan on the Turkana and Pokot sides. This is a very important issue. I hope the Committee will get to the bottom of it and ensure that justice is done with regards to pastoralists getting their fair share of census support. In the last census, most pastoralists that had migrated with their animals across the border were not counted, even though in the past they had a high growth rate in terms of high birth rate. We do not want a situation where Kenyans who have traditionally ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 6 of the Bill be amended— (a) in sub-clause (1) by inserting the words “in consultation with the Council of County Governors and relevant national government entities” immediately after the words “The Commission shall”; and (b) in sub-clause (2) by deleting the word “overall” appearing immediately after the word “the” in paragraph (a) and substituting therefor the word “total”. view
