• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: cybercrime is taken care of within the member states. There are issues of electronic transactions, electronic signature authentication, cybercrime, consumer protection, data protection and privacy. There are also frameworks on intellectual property, competition, e-taxation, and information security. The third observation by the Committee is that ICT has opened up new windows of opportunity for East African countries as tools that can accelerate their economic growth and development. The fourth one is that infrastructure networks present at the moment presents a challenge in the development of the ICT sector. We noted that it is a challenge for all the member states. ... view

• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, even as we hope that the ICT network will be connected in all member states, it continues to be a challenge for us, as a country. We have a challenge in the infrastructure. We hope that once this Protocol has been ratified by other member states, it will be fast tracked to see that the infrastructure has been put in place. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, as I conclude, there is a direct cost anticipated in the course of implementation. However, there is potential of saving on costs arising from sharing of information and equipment as this will avoid duplication among partner states. So, instead of Kenya putting up its own infrastructure, it can easily share the existing one with member states. This will help avoid duplication. Therefore, the Committee recommends that the Protocol be ratified as it will facilitate the successful operation and cross-border interconnection of broadband ICT networks in the East African Community. view

• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank all the Members who have contributed to this Motion. They have all explained how important ICT is for us as a country and a region. I do not intend to repeat or belabour the point. I would just like to thank Hon. Maanzo, Hon. Pukose, Hon. Osotsi, Hon. Arbelle and Hon. Babu. I will get back to Hon. Babu and hope to convince him that it is important that we pass this Protocol for the benefit of our country. I am sure that the ban preventing him to go to ... view
• 16 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to second this very important Report. I also thank the Mover of the Report, on behalf of the Chair of the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA), Hon. Ngirici, who was also the leader of the delegation to the Commission on Status of Women. I will not take too much time because the Mover has really given a detailed report of what transpired in this year’s 62nd Session of the Commission on Status of Women, which happened in New York. This is one of the conferences in the world that ... view
• 16 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: This year’s theme was ‘Challenges and Opportunities in Achieving Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Rural Women and Girls’ and a review theme which was ‘Participation in and access of women to the media and information and communications technology (ICT) and their impact on and use as an instrument for the advancement and empowerment of women.’ One of the key things that we realised, and it has been mentioned by the Mover, is that there is nothing called rural girls or rural women. It can only be women and girls who live in rural areas. Most of us come from ... view
• 16 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: culture. We know that men are the gatekeepers. They are the ones who discuss and pass laws and they are the ones who will finally say that some cultures have to be forgotten. So, it is important for us, at the policy level, to think of how to bring men on board on cultural issues like early marriages and FGM, and not just see them as enemies, so that we can overcome some of these challenges. The other issue that continues to be a great challenge is gender-based violence, mostly on our girls and women. In the rural areas, girls ... view
