<p dir="ltr">Hi everyone,<br>
I understand that this is a Bill emanating from the work of the Senate ICT Committee. After visiting the counties, they saw a gap in cybersecurity and protection of infrastructure.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The issue of whether Senate can legislate on this- the Bill will affect Counties and their governments if you read the memorandum.<br></p>
<p dir="ltr">One thing we have learnt from the process of the ICT Practitioners Bill is that legislators/committees appreciate their role under a presidential system. We, wananchi also need to appreciate our role and entry points if our input is to be meaningful...</p>
<p dir="ltr">Regards,</p>
