Another issue I wish to support is the protection against access to pornographic photos or videos, especially by the young ones. If you visit most cybercafés in town and anywhere, there is no control. People who run those cybercafés cannot even control the age of people who go to use the computers. There are teenagers who would want to access computers to make applications to schools or communicating with their brothers and sisters who are abroad. But there should be a regulation to ensure that access to pornographic sites is illegal so that children are not spoilt while they are ...

Another issue that I would like to support is legislation on money laundering activities which are also in our systems. Nowadays, people want to access their accounts and transfer money electronically, but there is no serious protection against those people who would want to hack people’s accounts and transfer their money. So, I wish to support by saying that if we were to have strict rules to protect anybody from accessing other accounts illegally, then we will reduce cybercrimes. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained ...

I would also like to support it on matters of security. We must understand that there is some security information in the Government. There is security information in private entities which should not be allowed to be accessed by anybody. I watched a story on KTN news yesterday talking about the Cambridge Analytica. That is one of the cybercrimes to have been committed worldwide. When you follow that story, you realise that there are many things which go on in our computers and the internet especially during electioneering periods. The crime

is asking me to explain is when someone uses computers to imitate other people so that people imagine it is that person who is speaking or addressing certain people or personalities. That is a crime.

If we had made this law a long time ago, many members of public would not be suffering from issues like intimidation, faking people’s accounts and posting other matters and doing several things. I support the Bill. If hacking and cyber bullying are penalised, this country will be moving in the right direction in terms of electronic use.

I wish to end by saying that I know some victims and I was discussing this with my brother, who is one of the youthful Members of this House. I know victims of this law will be young men because they have made it in business nowadays. You will find them mostly in WhatsApp groups where they make money out of it. Sometimes they want to discuss several issues. It is good if we are discussing matters that can help the society move forward or matters that have serious assistance to the youth of this country. But if we are ...

THAT, pursuant to Standing Order No.33(1), I seek leave to move the adjournment of the House for purposes of discussing a matter of urgent national importance following tribal clashes which occurred in Trans Mara and specifically along the border of Kilgoris and Emurua Dikirr constituencies.

Deputy Speaker, it is for this reason that I, therefore, seek the adjournment of the House in order to discuss a definite matter of urgent national importance. I request the Leader of the ...
