Part IV of the Bill is about Scrutiny of Statutory Instruments by a county assembly. It is provided for seven sitting days for scrutiny of a statutory instrument before a county assembly. There will be sufficient time for proper scrutiny and input. So, by the time a statutory instrument is implemented, it will have the support of all the people in a county. Therefore, apart from enhancing accountability, it will increase and enhance proper management of resources in the counties.

The second last part of this Bill is about general provisions. It provides timelines when a statutory instrument shall be put in use. It provides for what should happened before the expiry of a particular statutory instrument, so that there is no gap between one statutory instrument and the next. That will ensure that people prepares the next statutory instrument before the previous one lapses.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank the Committee for coming up with such a wonderful Bill. As I said in the beginning, this Bill speak to many issues affecting our counties. For example, a few minutes ago, Sen. Cherargei spoke about cases of divisions when it comes to supplementary budgets. We cannot blame MCAs because it is because of lack of understanding. However, if we enact this Bill into the Act, there will be legal instrument to guide them on what to do.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Statement by sen. Pareno. I wish to say that it is quite absurd to realise that such a large number of police men and youth was sent to evict people at Em-pakasi. I am sure if we could even go further, we would realise that there is more to the eviction of these people because, normally, when such a large number of police officers and youth evict people, they even cause other harm. You can visualise what is happening in that particular area because from the Statement, I think we ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, is the Senator of Narok County in order when he says that we cannot compare the people of Bomet and Kericho to the people of Embakasi? They are all human beings. In fact, the dust has not settled on what he recently said. He said that the women of Bomet and Kericho were yelling in a very unbecoming manner. I think that human beings are the same and all of them require similar treatment. Eviction in Embakasi is the same as eviction in Mau forest. What we require is a lasting policy.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance again to add my voice. I am in the Committee on Information Communication and Technology where we have been dealing with The Data Protection Bill. I wish to thank the Committee of the Whole for what they did this morning. It is the high time that the Senate should stamp its authority and show to the whole world that we are here to protect our people. My senior, Sen. Wetangula, has already spoken about how data protection is handled in other countries. We are asking Dr. Fred Matiang’i what legal ...
