"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I think this Petition is really timely. When people commit offences, punishment is meted out, so that they can be corrected. Sometimes, they end up going to jail because these are correctional centres. After they have served their terms, there should be a short period within which they are rehabilitated back to society. I think it is a fact that a lot of employers in Kenya today insist on the Certificate of Good Conduct. Therefore, this basically means that one who committed an offence, even if it was 20, 30 or 40 years ago, will be punished as a result of this. I think this is double jeopardy and means people are punished because they served a jail term and afterwards, they are unable to get employment and cannot be corrected. I think this is timely and I support the Petition."
