    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Bill and thank hon. Odhiambo- Mabona for such a thoughtful piece of Bill. In saying this, I would persuade her to look at the transitional clauses so that we give a clear timeframe not exceeding nine months because we believe that some of the treaties that are in force now might be some that originated during the colonial days. For some of them, the content, style and the spirit under which they were designed may not necessarily be in harmony with the new thinking in Kenya. In doing this Bill, I realise that she has, thoughtfully, looked at what happens in real practice and I would urge her to propose a further amendment at the Committee Stage so that we are able to annul the many treaties that may be placed in people’s shelves that either were not presented before the new dispensation or in nature do not meet international standards or the spirit of the new Constitution. I support."
