Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to support this Bill. I believe it will stand the test of time. I commend its sponsor and the Committee on Information, Communication and Technology. They have done a commendable job. Data is very important to all of us because we use it on daily basis. It informs us about economic development, how many people are employed, unemployed youths, persons with disabilities in a county or country and so on. It helps to do an intervention at the right time and find lasting solutions to myriads of problems ...

one morning and decides what they will say about Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, and it will go viral. It is not fair at all. This Bill ensures that people will not wake up one morning and decide to say this or that about a certain person. Moreover, when it comes to data, firms should desist from collecting information from social media and using it without verification. There is need for authentic information to be received, empirical evidence about the data and evidence-based data. This is the kind of information we want our people to access it. Data collection can help us, ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other thing that this Bill addresses is the issues of children. There are instances where cunning people can decide to get information from children and use it in a manner that is not right. In a situation where children are used, the Bill says clearly that there is need for consent from parents. Bringing parents on board and informing them of the data that is being collected about their children is good. For example, it is wrong for a parent to read or see in the media their children being used as subjects without their ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I commend Sen. Olekina for this important Bill that he has brought to the Floor of the House. Madam Temporary Speaker, transport is a shared function of both the national Government and county governments in the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution. It implies that it is an important area in our economy. Good roads connote investment. When roads are poor people will not be attracted to invest in that area. When roads are good business people, especially the shrewd ones, will flock that area simply because they want to invest.

When investors go to an area, the youth, women and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) will get employment. The issue of roads is of great concern to this nation.

Madam Temporary Speaker, there is need to prescribe how people access commercial buildings. This Bill states that there is need for roads to ensure that buildings, including commercial ones are accessed. The Bill talks about construction of roads, which is very important. However, construction alone is not enough. There is need for roads to be also maintained. If they are constructed and not maintained, the cost of repairing them can be very high. It can be very expensive for the county and the national Government. It is, therefore, imperative that roads are constructed and maintained.

The Bill also talks about parking bays. This is a great concern. They need to be designed and allocated for different categories. In major towns, parking bays are there but persons who drive and have disabilities---
