Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to be corrected, the point is home. During that period, I was newly elected Senator and nobody knew where I was staying. It was very unfortunate for a police officer to go to Kenya Power to search for my meter number. They went to Western Water Services and searched for my meter number. They used those numbers to locate where I was staying. Therefore, this Bill will seal such loopholes in as far as personal data is concerned.

I support this Bill because it provides for compulsory acquisition of data. It has specifically stated that whereas there is need for data to be requested compulsorily, the agencies dealing with the same are mandated to collect it in that manner. We need to have enough data that will help and protect our security and economy.

In the recent past, we have seen people moving around with huge amounts of money in harambees. We have banking regulations which regulates how much an individual can withdraw from the bank in a day. For example, you cannot withdraw more than Kshs1 million or more than Kshs999,000 in a day.

If a certain person can contribute Kshs10 million in one harambee, or buy goats worth Kshs14 million; we want to know how many days it took him to withdraw that ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, people who do not bank money are the thieves we are looking for. If you have that information, please, share it with the relevant authorities. I encourage the CS to provide an information system platform whereby certain data are clustered in one portal. For example, during registration of voters, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) tends to overlook some requirements. This is because they do not have the capacity to retrieve certain data to inform their decisions. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report ...

One of the requirements for one to be cleared to vie for a position of the governor is possession of a university degree. However, the IEBC normally has a day to issue certificates of clearance to people who want to vie for a position of governor in the whole country. They walk to IEBC offices carrying their degree certificates. It is not possible for the IEBC officers to ascertain whether those degree certificates are original or fake. We would want an information system platform whereby IEBC officers can log in and ascertain whether this person went to Punjab University or ...
