"content": "I would not, in the interest of time, wish to go through the various features of the Bill, which, indeed, are very well set out in the Memorandum of Objects and Reasons. However, I would like to point out, just for the comfort of some Members, particularly hon. Letimalo as indeed, we pointed out last week here in this House, that in the case of a member of a visiting force who was alleged to have killed a person, in this Bill it is clearly provided in Clause 281 that:- “Notwithstanding the provisions of section 281 and subject to a treaty or agreement the Kenya Government is a party to, the Kenya civil courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction and primary right to try any member of a visiting force for any civil offence committed in contravention of any Kenyan law, customary international law, treaty or an agreement the Kenyan Government is a party to”. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in collaboration with the Committee on Defence and Foreign Affairs, we meticulously went through this Bill and, as I have already said, we will be proposing certain amendments to further improve the Bill. With these remarks, I beg to move."
