    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT Clause 77 of the Bill be amended – (a) in sub-clause (1) by inserting the word declassification” immediately after the word “classification”; (b) by deleting sub-clause (4); (c) by deleting sub-clause (5); In particular, I would like the Members to look at Clause 77(4). It says:- “Any person who fails to destroy, transfer information as required by sub section 3 commits an offence and 5, any person who fails to comply with sub section 2 or 3 commits an offence and shall on conviction be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years or to a fine not exceeding Kshs300,000 or both.” Again, this criminalizes the many innocent Kenyans. Therefore, amending this section now will insulate the public. What can happen is that an ordinary farmer in Meru can land on a newspaper and that newspaper might be classified. So, we do not need to punish Kenyans because of their innocence. This is something that you do not have to legislate on."
