Breaching the Access to Information Act, 2016

Dear Listers, Today, there is a "Daily Nation" article about MP's going after another MP for irregularly acquiring information, quoting Section 22 (1) of the Leadership and Integrity Act provides that a state
officer shall not directly or indirectly use or allow any person under the officer’s authority to use any information obtained through or in connection with the office, which is not available in the public domain, for the furthering of any private interest, whether financial or otherwise.

Question is where is the line drawn when information is illegally not just irregularly kept out of the public domain, breaching the Access to Information Act, 2016? Typically this would refer to information not compromising National Security but actually enhancing it (by safeguarding public resources). http://www.ombudsman.go.ke/index.php/access-to-information/access-to-informa...
