when consent is given. There are a few contradictions and it is important for the Committee to look at them at the Committee stage. Another issue of concern is when there is a breach or leak of data and the time it would take to inform the subject matter. The words used were ‘within a reasonable time.’ I think there should be definite timeliness because the subject matter is the owner of the personal data. Whereas there are timelines for data processes, there is no timeline for informing the subject matter when there is a serious breach. So, if there ...

Hon. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. We have been asking Questions, some of which go unanswered. I asked a Question on the return of cartels and Mungiki into the matatu sector, especially those that operate in Narok. I have waited for a response for the last five months as the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government has not come to respond. Today is the third time. I came from Narok so that I can receive my answer. Hon. Speaker, I want you to give direction because the Cabinet Secretary in charge of national security ...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. As you appreciate the Committee for having done a perfect job, allow me to also appreciate you for being a mobile encyclopaedia as far as our Constitution is concerned. As a new Member, I have learnt a lot from your in-depth knowledge of our Constitution. I am quite sure when you were in law school, you did not miss many classes like my brother, Hon. Cheboi.

So, thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I appreciate. And Members appreciate what they have learnt from you. You always refer to the Constitution and very specific Articles. I support this particular amendment. The Committee has done a thorough job. The first reason for supporting is that among the special interest groups, there has been one group whose voice has been louder than the rest, namely, women. They have been louder than people with disabilities and other special interest groups. The Committee has made sure that the voices of the special interest groups are heard. I support because for the ...

I support what Hon. Wafula Wamunyinyi said that when PWDs compete in election, they are referred to in demeaning terms. At times we are referred to in demeaning words that we even fail to come out. Even the Swahili words kiwete, kiziwi, kipofu” are demeaning. The “ki” is something that should be given to non-living things like kitanda, kiti and not human beings. In my Maasai Community, we are referred to in three basic terms. One of them is eng’oki, which means a curse. So, if I am told I am a curse, who will elect a curse? We are ...

, meaning a hyena. Who will elect a hyena? We are also referred to as ormaima -a nd Hon. Sara Korere is here, which is the seal. When you are referred to in such demeaning words, you may not even be elected. People will shy away from electing you. So, the Committee has come up with a legislative framework to remove those demeaning words. This will assist us to come out, because PWDs also seek opportunities. We are no longer sympathy seekers. We seek those opportunities. When we are given such opportunities by a progressive amendment like this one brought ...

If we had a level playing ground, you will be shocked to see that one-third of the Membership of this House after the 2022 general election will be special interest group people – women, people living with disabilities and people from marginalised communities. We have ideas that we would sell to Kenyans. However, because we are referred to using demeaning The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
