National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah has called for the removal of data bundle expiration.
Ichung'wah said the telcos and internet service providers must account for how bundles bought by users expire.
"They must be held to account. Because internet service provision is a service like any other. It's like water and power that comes to your house. And you pay for what you consume," he said.
He spoke on Thursday during a Parliamentary proceeding.
"Therefore, they cannot be charging Kenyans for what they are not consuming," Ichung'wah added.
He regretted that even if the bundle package expires before being fully utilized, the providers do not account for the money used.
"That is outright theft," he added.
Reiterating that the providers are exploiting Kenyans, the Kikuyu MP urged the ICT committee under Dagorreti MP John Kiarie's leadership, to look into the issue.
He said the services were a punishment to young Kenyans using bundles to work online in an aim to better their livelihoods.
"Time limits on data usage is skewed towards enriching giant telcos while disenfranchising the millions of youth using the Internet."
Ichung'wah was supporting a motion tabled by Kamukunji MP Yusuf Hassan, to regulate the internet service providers.
"I am seeking a statement over the expiry of unused data bundles and widespread internet speed throttling by internet service providers," Yusuf said while tabling the motion.
He requested the committee to engage with the providers and come up with a decision before the House goes into the December Holiday recess.
