I just wish to thank all Member and I am appreciative that we have sat for this long on this very important Bill. Having stated that, with regards to Clause 57, I wish we had the opportunity to have a conversation and to deliberate it with the Departmental Committee on Health. My amendment will fall automatically, but I must make this statement. Article 26(1) of the Constitution states that every person has the right to life. Article 26(2) states that the life of a person begins at conception. If we have penalties for murder and manslaughter, how and why is it that a person who commits the offence of the deliberate destruction of an embryo will only pay a fine not exceeding Kshs500,000?"}
