    "content": " I thank you, Hon. Speaker. For Hon. Janet’s’ favour, I read the provisions of Article 59 (1). The commission it establishes is the Kenya National Human Rights and Equality Commission. Hon. Janet, as a senior lawyer to me, understands that what we have is not so named. It is called the Kenya National Human Rights Commission. That is why I am saying the first intent of the Bill is indeed to correct the error in that nomenclature because Kenya National Commission on Human Rights is not what the Constitution establishes. This is not a commission being established by an Act of Parliament but by the Constitution. So, the name of the Commission must be Kenya National Human Rights and Equality Commission, unless the Constitution is amended. The point I was making before I was interrupted is, if you look at the Constitution from Article 53, it deals with specialised sections of the community which require particular human rights protection. Under Article 53, you have children and their rights being specifically catered for, for the first time under our laws. You have persons with disabilities under Article 54. You have the youth under Article 55. You have the minorities and marginalised groups under Article The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
