"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to oppose the amendment and urge hon. Members to very carefully read what is intended to be deleted. With your indulgence, a clause is intended to be deleted and a new paragraph added to make it an offence to use words intended to incite feelings of contempt, hatred, hostility, violence or discrimination, not against one person, but among the different ethnic communities in Kenya. It is, therefore, protecting communities so that, when I want to fight one person, I do not insult or incite hatred of an entire community. If you wish to fight me, you then do not incite hatred among the entire community that I come from. You deal with me as a person. If we agree to delete this amendment, then we are being oblivious of what is happening. There are dangers of hate-speech. it is calculated to incite hatred among ethnic communities. Even though hon. Members had a trip to Rwanda, we are forgetting what hate-speech did to that country. I urge hon. Members to reject the amendment."
