    "content": "Member of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, I rise to support repealing of the Penal Code in collective nature. I remember when I was a young student at the University of Nairobi, sometimes you would just be walking from the main campus to the Law School and some police officers would bundle you into their car and say that you were loitering or walking in a disorderly manner. We cannot afford to have a vague law in place. Anything that is vague is prone to abuse. As Hon. Kawanjiku said, these are laws that were put in place during the colonial times to contain Africans. I believe it is high time we repealed the same to ensure that we have progressive laws that cater for our communities’ needs. Thank you."
