    "content": "(Dr. Khalwale) Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 30 be deleted. May 31, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1099 Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, hon. Members will notice that in this particular clause, we are trying to connect the managers and owners of precincts where the offence of rape takes place to that offence. We all know that there is no single hotel in this country which does not have ownership or management. So, if we carry this particular clause, somebody can go to court and actually ask the manager, who may be at home at night while a client was raping a young lady in a room of a hotel he manages, to explain. It is, therefore, important that we delete this clause. How would you expect a manager to know that in Room 20 out of, say, 400 rooms in a hotel, somebody is raping an innocent person? How would the owner who would, for argument's sake, be Mr. Kenneth Matiba, living in Riara Ridge, Nairobi, know that in his hotels in Mombasa somebody is raping somebody? The poor old man would end up in jail for being the owner of a hotel where rape took place. I beg to move."
