    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to agree with the Chairman of the Committee. Offences under the Constitution must be clearly defined. We have situations where these insertions are including offences which makes it like a “catch all” situation. I am just giving this as an example; on page 2090 of the Bill, there is an offence there which is titled “misuse of donor funds or property.” It says:- “A person who dishonestly appropriates anything whether property or otherwise-- -“ That “otherwise” in a criminal offence leaves a lot of things in doubt. “which has been donated to himself or any other person in the name of or on the benefit of Kenya.” All that would cause a lot of confusion. I agree with the Chairman that this entire part which includes certain new offences should be deleted. It would be dangerous to pass this part of the Bill without proper scrutiny. As a criminal lawyer, I know that some of these offences will not meet the standards set out in the Constitution."
