"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, further on, sub-article 5 says that despite Clauses 1 and 2, provisions in legislation may limit the application of the right of fundamental freedoms in the following provisions to persons serving in the Kenya Defence Forces and the National Police Service: Article 1, to deal with privacy, Article 36, freedom of association, Article 37, assembly, demonstration, picketing and petition, Article 41, labour relations, Article 43, economic and social rights and Article 46, rights of arrested persons. The point is that members of the defence forces are, indeed, exempted. But I have heard debate on the issues concerning other disciplined forces or, indeed, limitation as far as national security is concerned, when you look at Article 35 which deals with access to information. Indeed, in my opinion, this Article on limitation allows this House to go ahead and limit, if there are reasonable needs, the rights of members of the disciplined forces, or access of information for national security purpose, are either through the use of the proposed law dealing with freedom of information or the Armed Forces Act."
