    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. The Penal Code is a very old product of the colonial regime. If you have a thorough discernment of what it entails, you will realise that it is still a colonial outfit. It pushes Kenyans to what we feel is behind us - colonial mentality. The words they use in the Penal Code like loitering, drunkenness, indecent acts, behaving in a manner to procure prostitution are ambiguous. They are in English, but have no relevance. They give judges the latitude to give wide discretionary judgements. I believe time has come for us to review the Penal Code. Our freedoms, rights and liberties are stipulated in our 2010 Constitution which is a very progressive and wonderful document."
