Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Mover’s desire to withdraw the Motion. The Mover of that Motion has said that he intends to come up with a Bill which will do what he intended to do with the Motion. I want to encourage him to come up with a Bill because it is very important for this country to have designated areas where people can picket and demonstrate. I do not find anything unconstitutional in the Motion. Like all developed democracies, we should designate places where people can picket and demonstrate. I, therefore, want to support and ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. As it has been said by many of the Members who have contributed, this is a very critical Bill not just for the economy of this country, but also the security of our nation. As the last Speaker, Hon.

Government. Everything is moving towards a computer-based payment system and procurement system. Therefore, it will be critical that we are able to secure our economy, State corporations and public sources by ensuring that we have laws that adequately cover these issues. This Bill talks at great length on that.

Clause 2 speaks volumes about issues that have been raised here about false publications. Hon. Members in this House are the first victims of false publications, be it in the gutter press, social media, WhatsApp or Facebook. We are victims of all these false publications every day. The Hon. Member for Turkana mentioned that these things even go to the extent of defaming people’s families, especially during the campaign period. Many of us were victims, being accused of all manner of things. Recently, my own wife’s name was flashed all over social media over issues in the corporation where she ...

I was speaking about cyber bullying and stalking, issues to do with child pornography. All of us post our photos and those of our families on social media. These pictures are lifted from social media websites and used to either bully or cyber stalk children. You can do that with computers nowadays. You use those photos and the faces of small children to advance very immoral things in child pornography. This Bill is covering all those issues but we must relook at it in the Third Reading. We will be bringing amendments to make it more punitive and more painful ...
