Cybercrime law causes no harm to Kenyans, Ichung'wah states

According to the Kikuyu Member of Parliament, the Act has no ill motives against Kenyans but rather is aimed at protecting families against pornographic materials accessed by adults and shared with children. 

"This is the primary aim of the act," said Ichung'wah on Sunday. 

Ichung'wah urged Kenyans not to listen to 'naysayers' who opine that the Act will deny Kenyans to right to interact on social media. 

"This Act will protect families from cyber and computer crime, protect churches from extremist religious leaders from recruiting members for bad intentions like the one we all witnessed in Shakahola," said Ichung'wah. 

Ichung'wah vowed to pull down websites that use digital space to promote pornography, extremism and other ills on social media. 

"Let's say the truth in regards to this bill, it's causing no harm to people rather than protecting the families against cyber crimes," the MP addressed a congregation in Malava Constituency, where Kenya Kwanza brigade is campaigning for UDA candidate David Ndakwa, eyeing a parliamentary seat in the November Malava by-election.  

Ichung'wah promised Malava Constituents that if Ndakwa is elected, he will be given the Budget chairman post, and if he's elected for the second term, then he will be given the position of majority leader.
