    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I support the amendment, but for different reasons. There is already a proviso in the current Penal Code that protects those people who make certain statements which may be truthful or honest, but may irritate or disturb you. But still, are honest and straightforward. But as it is now, if I was to say somebody is a fool, and we are in a public rally, I will be jailed for ten years and be fined Kshs1 million. If I irritate or disturb somebody--- If I say something a little obscene like the four letter words, I may be jailed for ten years and fined Kshs1 million. Why did the Attorney-General find it necessary to remove the proviso that, otherwise, protected honest debate and utterances? I support this view because it may be used to terrorise people in the Opposition! They will take us back to those days of the Nyayo Chambers!"
