• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support this Bill. The Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, which I chair, applauds the process that has been carried out by the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation, that is, the process of analysis and the public participation which was undertaken by that Committee. The Committee appreciates the gesture which was put forward by the Committee’s Chairperson. He invited me to present amendments relating to aspects of security touching on the same. The Computer and Cybercrimes Bill 2017, as it has been noted by others, seeks to provide for offences ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: offences: unauthorised access of a computer system; unauthorised interference with a computer system, programme or data; unauthorised interception of data to or from a computer system over a telecommunication system; cyber espionage; publishing false, misleading or fictitious data; production or possession of child pornography; forgery of computer data; and, cyber stalking and bullying. The offences listed in this Bill will go a long way to regulate the use of internet and the menace of cyber stalking and bullying which a good number of Members of this distinguished House have fallen victim. I would like to report that we met a ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security received submissions from among others: The Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government and the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) relating to the implementation of security- related aspects of this Bill that include effective investigation and prosecution of offenders under the law. The Committee will also propose to introduce amendments to address cyber terrorism which is the intentional use of computers, networks and public internet to cause distraction and harm for personal objectives and even Governments. This concept significantly varies from the idea of an unauthorised access, interference or interceptions of ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The Committee will also propose to introduce amendments to address the use of crypto currencies to fund terrorism and other illegal activities such as money laundering. There are well documented cases around the world which have demonstrated that the underlying block chain technology would be used to come up with solutions for society that will be positive and socially revolutionary. There is need for this House to empower the law enforcement agencies to detect and prevent the unlawful use of crypto currencies to facilitate the various activities such as money laundering. view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The Committee will further propose amendments to address the use of dark web and crime ware as a service. The dark web refers to the parts of the internet that are not indexed or searchable using search engines such as Google or Yahoo. There are reports such as one by the University of Portsmouth that point to the fact that the dark web has been used for illegal activities such as illegal trade forums and media exchange for paedophilia and terrorism. view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, crime ware is software that operates with a limited amount of autonomy to steal confidential sensitive corporate information. This information could range from passwords of bank account holders to social account holders such as those of us who hold Facebook accounts. view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Some of the amendments mentioned by the Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation point to the use of network monitoring and other forensic tools by law enforcement agencies as being acceptable as evidence admissible by courts of law in Kenya in line with amendments proposed to clauses 5, 6, 7, 8, 28 and 29 of the Bill. view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security will propose to introduce amendments to Clause 24 of the Bill so as to strengthen the legal framework within terms that do not unnecessarily make the process of conducting effective investigation, lengthy, complicated and unreasonably protracted. The Committee will, therefore, be proposing to amend clauses 23, 24, 25 and 26 relating to the access of warrants, production orders as well as search and seizure of computer data. 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: Finally, I note that this Bill has been prosecuted through the process of the House with a lot of haste. It would have been my desire and that of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security of this House to have interrogated this Bill with a bit more scrutiny to make sure that all the salient aspects are captured and regulated with unchecked sanctity. We would therefore have liked to take time and come up with a watertight Bill rather than rush it and leave many gaping holes in it. Like Jonas Salk who dedicated a lot of time ... view
