    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, this is a very good law. In fact, when you look at the criminal laws in this country, they were meant to punish people rather than rehabilitate them. This is because they were enacted by foreign forces, or powers, who wanted to emasculate and ensure that Africans suffered. So, this is a very good law. It gives effect to the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. In fact, it is a ground-breaking law. When you look at the definition of “inter-sex,” or persons with both male and female organs, it is a new thing that was needed. I remember a case where somebody was a hermaphrodite. This is very important at the moment. This law looks at a human being not necessarily as criminal. Before this Constitution of Kenya, 2010 came into being, you were treated as a criminal once you were arrested. From the outset, your life would be threatened and you would be in danger. You could easily come out either on death throes or as a walking corpse. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
