    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to say that I am very happy with Part IV which deals with rights and duties of citizens. This is very clear and very important. For the first time, our Bill is defining what your rights are. These rights are already defined in the Constitution but this Bill goes further to do the same. It particularly gives the rights on citizenship, entry into this country, leaving this country and where one resides in this country. It is very categorical that, as a citizen, you can reside anywhere in this country. This is very important. On rights, this Bill clearly gives a citizen the right to vote which, in my view, is very important. It gives you the right to own land and property. It also gives the citizen the right on all sorts of things and particularly on documentation. What documents are you legally allowed? These are documents like birth certificates, passports and so on. As regards duties, I am very happy with this Bill because it defines the duties of a citizen. As it has clearly been stated here earlier on, most Kenyans do not appreciate their duties as citizens of this country. So, it is important that this is clearly specified. One of the most important duties of a citizen is to have give allegiance to his country. This is clearly stated in this Bill. The other duty is to fully obey the rules of this country. The other aspect is to pay taxes, which is, again clearly spelt out in this document. I want to say that this Bill brings out these aspects in a very good way."
