    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT the Bill be amended in Clause 282 by deleting sub-clause (1) and substituting therefor the following new sub-clauses- (1) The Kenyan 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 party to. (2) Despite subsection (1), a provision in a treaty or agreement to which the Kenyan Government is party to may confer exclusive and primary right to try any member of a visiting force to the authorities of that visiting force. When we have visiting forces, before now, the assumption was that they are not subject to our own judicial jurisdiction. Therefore, this amendment will make them also subject to our laws."
