• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. It is actually very important for our economy and for our country. As we all know as Members of this House, energy is the most important ingredient to spur development of any nation. I commend the Bill especially on the new energy sources. The Bill has placed a lot of emphasis on renewable energy, more so, wind and solar energy. These renewable energy sources are non- pollutant. They will ensure that our environment is safe and our economy grows faster. Fossil-based fuel like petroleum, coal and others have ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. It has come at the right time in the sense that it will move with the tide of the time. The Bill proposes to look at crime related to the internet, technology and confidentiality. I want to point out very clearly that with the advent of the internet, privacy has become quite expensive. You The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: realise that our bank accounts are easily invaded by fraudsters who hack banks’ computer systems and Automated Teller Machines (ATMs). view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: If you look at last year’s report on cybercrime, you will see that banks lost billions of shillings. A number of the criminals went scot-free. Banks paid a lot of money to individuals who invaded accounts of innocent citizens. Apart from that, this Bill will address issues of unauthorised access. Last week, in this House, most Google accounts and Gmail accounts of a number of Members were accessed by individuals who had pseudo names. They carried out crimes in the names of Members of Parliament. They made calls and solicited funds. I saw the presentation by the National Intelligence Service ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I also want to talk about false information which affects us in development. For instance, Face book, WhatsApp and Twitter are rooms where rumours and innuendos are propagated against individuals, to an extent that even normal citizens always say that some information was in the social media and yet it is false. We have individuals in the society who create accounts for leaders. I remember one instance where His Excellency the President complained because an individual hacked his account and abused the top leaders of this Republic. This is the time when we need to learn from other democracies and ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Apart from that, there is also publication, production and possession of child pornography. Pornography has become a serious problem not only in this country but also across the world. Every other time, nude photos are sent to anybody or any group with a lot of impunity. If we introduce this particular Bill, it will curb that and restore our morality and values. This kind of pornography is not allowed in the Islamic nations. In the nations which do not have order, every other time anyone can send bad things across the internet. Someone can send nude pictures across the internet. ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: In fact, I heard one of the Members talking about the fines and penalties which are given to the criminals. Some of these penalties are lenient compared to the laws of integrity of individuals. If some of the individuals who have been mentioned to peddle rumours and innuendos are punished by paying Kshs2 million or Kshs3 million, it will not pay for the reputation of an individual. It is very little. view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I rise to support this Bill in the sense that it will bring order. Earlier on, before the advent of the internet, computers and the web, crimes were limited because they were physical. Currently, there are a number of criminals who go scot free. I want to look at a case which one Member has talked about. During the campaign period and even before that, young men and women came up with information that is false, misleading and it assassinated characters of individuals. You do not have anything to pin them down. You can only be silent. view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I want to urge Hon. Members to pass this Bill. There are certain reservations that I have noted. The Chair of the Committee is here. He will note them down, so that we pass the Bill with a few amendments. I support the Bill. view
• 13 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to oppose the Motion. This could have been a very good Motion but hiring untrained teachers to serve when we need quality education in this country is not appropriate. One of the goals of education in this country is to promote national unity. It is to foster unity among Kenyans. This can only be attained by ensuring that we live together as communities despite the difficulties that we go through. As a people, every region has its own challenges and difficulties. The Motion targets to address a challenge that is facing a ... view
