• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Data from M-Pesa shops has been used to register small political parties. There is a political party from my region - I do not wish to name it - which did not recruit members, but by the time we went for the last election, they had recruited so many members. Some of my constituents checked and found out that they had been registered in that political party even though they had never given consent to be registered. That means that their data was picked, probably, from M-Pesa shops and used to register them in political parties. view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: It is important to note that the Data Protection Bill will curb some of these vices that have been going on. The protection of privacy is in Chapter Four of the Constitution in the Bill of Rights. Basically, the Bill seeks to give effect to Article 31 (c) and (d) on the right to privacy. Article 31 of the Constitution says every person has the right to privacy, which includes the right not to have information relating to their family or private affairs unnecessarily required or revealed. That means that the continuous seeking for information from people needs to be ... view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: was a big outcry in the US about Facebook . In fact, the founder of Facebook was actually grilled by the Congress on the use of private information that was being received by his organisation. They would receive information and share it with other companies. They would look at the kind of things you view, access and seek and they would get to know the kind of person you are. They give that information to marketing companies to continuously bombard you with information and requests to purchase items. That is one of the things that will be sorted out by ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. This Bill seeks to amend various laws. It is an omnibus Bill because it deals with seven Acts of Parliament. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: 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
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The intention is to give effect to Article 100 of the Constitution which is meant to promote the representation of women, PLWDs, youth, ethnic and other minorities and marginalised communities in Parliament. A clear reading of the Bill and the amendments proposed show that it is meant to promote that representation in the county assemblies and public institutions. I have read through these amendments and made seven observations, which make me inclined to support the Bill. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: First, the laws basically want to give a clear definition of special interest groups. Almost all these amendments are meant to give a clear definition. The definition that appears within the statutes is the one that is in Article 100 of the Constitution. That is something that is commendable. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Secondly, I have made the observation that there is clear intention to recognise special interest groups that we have defined. So, most of these laws want to ensure that they are recognised within their institutions. Thirdly, there is inclusion of special interest groups in decision-making in public institutions. The fourth observation that I made is that it improves communication. People with disabilities are part of special interest groups. For the deaf, they communicate through sign language. So, the law proposes certain changes in the statutes to enhance communication, so that even the deaf can know about the laws that are ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Unfortunately, this might not always hold. A time may come where the first, second and third political parties will leave each other with a very small margin in terms of numbers. Then what will happen if we say the top two will share 53 per cent of the kitty from the Political Parties Funds? What if the third political party is just one Member less than the second largest political party? I will propose an amendment to this if possible that instead of saying that the top two political parties should share 53 per cent and all other political parties ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: This will help us to ensure that even those smaller political parties are given an opportunity to grow. Here we are talking about special interest groups and we want to kill the view
