• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: It is important to put this in perspective. I just want to respond to the comments of the Leader of the Majority Party and Hon. Pkosing who, as he said, is a friend. We are held to higher standards. First, it is not mandatory to use those roads. Using them is optional. Second, just to address Hon. Pkosing, the title of the Bill… view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: I am just about to conclude. The title of this Bill before us is the Kenya Roads Bill. It does not make a distinction between what is public and what is private. We are trying to create this for posterity. I just wanted us to clarify those two points. I want us to ventilate in the normal way. The minority which I belong to - and I think I am in the minority of minorities as an independent - will have their say and certainly the majority will have their way. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, my intention was to have congruence in the Bill by removing the word “public” from the long title and simply leave it as “roads”. This will open up the whole issue of private and public roads. As it is, it is an exercise in futility to move the amendment. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Yes, it is withdrawn. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Speaker. Just for housekeeping, when I rose, and it was an exchange between us and the Chair, and indeed, your office, by the time you left the Chair on the particular day, you had actually given an indication that I could speak for between 20 to 30 minutes when the Mover had moved and the Seconder, who was the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation, had spoken. You had said it was adequate that I speak now that I was not given a chance to present to the Committee itself. So, I ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Speaker, for that indulgence. This is, indeed, a timely Bill to have been brought before the House. It is momentous that Members familiarise themselves with what cyber space is. It is very easy to get terminologies especially in the Information Technology (IT) world and wonder where the space in society is. Most people were recently referring to information being stored up there in the cloud. The cloud refers to a system of servers. It is nothing different from what you have before you in your own computer or indeed, even within this House – the HANSARD ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: indicating a completely different person altogether from you.” This is the seriousness of the information which we have. It goes as far as getting into your bank accounts. Your entire identity being threatened means your life is irreparably destroyed. There are no curative measures that will come back to you because by the time we have already moved to an e-government platform or taken our things to databases, if we do not have the right security measures, you can suffer irreparably. This is because anywhere you go, authentication is not there. Hon. Speaker, within this House, you ably guided us ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we need to look at the space of cyber security. That is how the fundamental things are affected. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: When you scrutinise the Bill and the Committee’s Report, you find that even from the way we have worded the Memorandum of Objects of the Bill, it makes it look like we are protecting each other from taking one computer to another. The title of the Bill needs to change. We need to look at jurisdiction and Memorandum of Objects in the Bill. We need to define critical information infrastructure which is in the arena of things like e-health. Our medical records are all online today. When you go to the triage at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) or the ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: information. In this particular year, there was an attack in Latvia on their e-health records. We discussed the KNH Report adequately and that was just at a fundamental level. The manipulation of e-health records can affect an entire individual’s health capability or how he will be healed. view
