On the flipside of it, whichever artistic capacity, they should also decide how their image is portrayed using their talent. I do not know if many of us followed, but yesterday elections were held in the United States of America (USA) and results have been trickling in today. One of the famous musicians called Rihanna told the President of the USA not to use her music or songs during his political rallies because she does not believe in what he believes in and his vision is definitely not hers. She said that her music should not be used in that ...

applies here. I know we have had musicians who have sung for different sides of the political divide. There are many songs that we can think of kama Tano Tena and others. The musicians should benefit from that music since we mobilised and rallied our bases using these talents and gifts. It should never be that we benefit and they do not. I did not see this in the Bill. Maybe it is somewhere. During the campaign rallies some people would just show up and say: ―You have been playing so and so‘s song. Have you paid?‖ My question is: ...

If it concerns the resale of a building, a drawing plan, mode of a building or an auction for charitable purposes, then there is an exemption. It seems that a lot has been taken into account in coming up with this Bill, including research. The Senate Majority Leader said before me, and I agree with him, that this is an area that has been left without regulations which has led to the despicable conditions that our artistes live in across the country.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Petition and to add my voice to what seems like a conflict between the illegal herders, as they are called in the Petition, and the people of Taita Taveta. Thank you, Sen. Mwaruma. I congratulate you for standing up for your people even as I sympathise with the camel owners, who may not have a place to herd their camels. We cannot compare the life of a human being with that of an animal. I cannot believe that we can even talk of having those people talk and figure out ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support the Data Protection Bill 2018. Like all my colleagues, I congratulate the Vice Chairperson of the Committee on Information Communication and Technology, Sen. Halake, for the good work in moving that Bill. It is extremely important and informative. It is one Bill whose time has come.

All of us who live in this country know how much it seems as though there is nobody being held accountable for misusing data. I believe that is one of the major things that will be accomplished if the Bill becomes an Act. Looking at the Bill, like others have said, when we think of even personal information regarding health, there is room for misuse and leaking people‟s information. It could even be from credit bureaus about their credit worthiness or whatever the circumstances may be. There may be different laws that may have been applying to different areas, however, ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, it is important that the consent for the data subject is primary in everything that goes towards data collection. Looking at the Bill, I see all the areas require consent from the data subject but in one of the areas where they have given exception – such as law enforcement, when crimes have been committed and so forth – I believe that we also have to be careful. We should not have a scenario where in the pretext of doing so for maybe law protection purposes or fighting crime, that then there is an intrusion and misuse ...
