• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have a lot of respect for the Leader of the Majority Party. I just wanted to inform him that Part VII, exemptions, caters for that. National security is exempted on matters to do with data protection and also under Clause 54, the Data Commissioner has powers to prescribe issues of exemption. So, I think this will be a repetition somehow. However, I am okay with the spirit of the amendment only that it is going be more like a repetition. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this is a very innovative amendment and I support the Leader of the Majority Party. You can imagine we are going to have thousands and thousands of data processors and data controllers. If we say that the office will be processing registration certificates after every three to four years, that will be the only work they will be doing. We need to make it flexible, so that we do not have to keep on registering them. This is one of the issues that can be handled in regulations. view

If you look at the obligations of a data processor and data controller, we may not be able to process data if we put that amendment here, from a technology point of view. We have so many banks and insurance companies like Safaricom who have data centres outside the country. We will not be able to process any data if we put so much restriction on data processing. Obligations of data processors and data controllers are already implied. That is why I ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Yes. It is on that basis, if you look at it from a technology point view. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support this amendment because Clause 37 makes reference to direct marketing, but this provision is very broad; it talks about all forms of commercial data. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I think this amendment is well captured under Clause 74. It is basically the role of the Data Commissioner to issue guidelines or codes of practice for data controllers, data processors and data protection officers. That is my first argument. The second argument is that I think the amendment by the Leader of the Majority Party to Clause 74(a) captures that aspect. The amendment by the Leader of the Majority Party, maybe to some quarters may look very offensive and may appear like it is encroaching into other aspects of regulation, like Media Council and such. ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there was an amendment by Hon. Shamalla on Clause 25 deleting sub-clause (g) of that clause. It reads: “Every data controller or data processor shall ensure that the personal data is released…” view
