    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said yesterday, this is a very important matter that affects us all as Kenyans. I also thank hon. Ndung'u for bringing forth this Bill. Whereas this Bill contains important information and ways of making decisions about rape, it also contains a whole baggage of cobwebs which tend to confuse some of us. We are wondering whether this Bill was meant for Kenya or some foreign country. When we gave leave to Ms. Ndung'u to go and prepare a Bill, we were essentially focused on rape. All of us are at risk of rape. Your grandmother, mother, wife, sister, child or grandchild can all be raped. This will affect you the same way it would affect any other person. That is what we wanted to tackle. All these other offences are addressed in the Penal Code. If it was to enhance punishment for those other offences, all we needed to do is to amend the Penal Code. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill contains very important ideas. For example, it defines rape in the correct way. However, if you look at page 348 at the end where there is the definition; and I will read in part: \"part of a body of an animal\". How can an animal commit rape? Does this happen in Kenya? I understand that in Western 778 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 27, 2006 countries animals commit sexual offences against human beings, but this does not happen in Kenya. I would like to be told clearly what part of this animal or what kind of animal there is whose body part could be used in rape."
