    "content": "technicalities. We have also dispensed with procedures that may require personal presence of a particular officer for admission of evidence when that would be done by other officers. On the issue of forensic evidence, we have allowed evidence through a video link; we have seen this happening in the International Criminal Court (ICC). On the Penal Code, the Bill seeks to deal with alarming and malicious publications. On Public Order Act, where Members have raised issues, I want to report to you that we have come up with several amendments on where we think certain rights have been taken from Kenyans. These amendments have been proposed by the Committee and you will get them in due course. On the issue of demonstrations and things to do with meetings, we just want to deal with demonstrations and picketing. As a Committee, we have done some amendments and you will see them. We just want to deal with demonstrations and picketing, so that anybody who wants to demonstrate and picket can go to a designated place, where they will not cause problems to anybody. They can go there in shifts. If we say that Uhuru Park should be the place where people should hold demonstrations and picketing, then people can go there in shifts. They can demonstrate up to 5 O’clock in the evening and go home when they want instead of people demonstrating outside Parliament and on business premises, thereby causing mayhem. Promoters of demonstrations and picketing will be held responsible if they cause any damage to property. On the Traffic Act, we are saying that we require motor vehicle dealers to maintain a data base of vehicle sales, transactions in stock as sold on a monthly basis. At the moment, we have car dealers who engage in suspicious businesses and we want to eradicate crimes like money laundering; some people are using that trade to launder money."
