• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Having stated that, I cannot overstress that in terms of food security and the Big Four Agenda, it is extremely pertinent that we have a data bank. Along with the Data Protection Bill which is currently being debated before this House, this legislation will go very far in ensuring that we not only have food security, but also safe food. With those few remarks, I support the Motion. view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I am well prepared. That is why I am raising up to contribute. view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as much as public participation is important, we have elected leaders and they are given that mandate to represent their people. I think we are taking public participation a bit further than what it should have been. Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me that opportunity to contribute. I support. view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I associate myself with the sentiments of the Hon. Member. I am concerned that this Bill may restrict the rights of a person who may want to petition the county assemblies when you have it so formalised. In as much as I support it, I understand that they may want to have a format at the village level for people to have a precedent and to fill it in. My concern is why it has to be in a Bill and not in the Standing Orders. With all due respect to the Senate, perhaps, they could ... view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to support this very important Bill. Let me start by thanking the Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation for coming up with this Bill, whose time is now. If it is not now, it is today. If it is not today, then it is this hour. We are in the Jubilee administration which campaigned on the platform that it would be a digital Government. A digital Government means digitalising all information and collecting data from all individuals for the sake of easier delivery of services and easier ... view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: sometimes it is secret. He may not divulge everything. You can imagine somebody you do not know has all your details. If they get details of our account names, account numbers, our bank branches and other information, including our personal identification number, we get scammers where money is transferred to accounts. You find yourself a poor person and a beggar all of a sudden yet you work very hard to earn. We have had criminals from other countries that I do not want to mention, but they are known to be very good in cybercrime. That is why we need ... view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Yes, he is an excellency. He is in charge of all pastoralists and we have said one kilometre, one vote because Kenya is defined in terms of land mass and population. We should also think of population, landmass and acreage in the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to comment on this very important amendment Bill. I want to congratulate the Committee for bringing this particular legislation on protection of data since it is long overdue. view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Indeed, this is a very exciting time. On a very personal level, I have waited for this Data Protection Bill especially because of the business aspect of it. If you look at countries like Philippines and India, there is huge business on processing and outsourcing trade going on. Nowadays, when you call the USA or the United Kingdom (UK), you hear a voice from a service provider. The call may not be routed to large companies in the UK, but to India, Philippines and recently Ghana. This is because they have data protection laws in place. view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: We have been unable to tap into this very valuable aspect because we do not have data protection laws in place. As soon as we have this legislation in place, I foresee a mushrooming of start-ups in this area. This will benefit a generation of people who are the youth of this country. Going forward, during the Committee stage when making amendments, I think we should relook at the registration fees. It seems very high and would be punitive for the youth of this country. A lot of time I do not think registration fees and levies are about making ... view
