    "content": "It is not the law that leads an immigration officer to improperly, corruptly and irregularly issue that Passport or Identity Card (ID) to aliens. It is not the law. It is corruption. So rather than go round and attempt to roll back hard fought gains, enforce the law that we have and fight corruption as the Government. Then we will have dealt with this matter. Hon. Speaker, this Bill is bad law, from whichever angle, from whichever point of the compass you look at it. This Bill is draconian. It is retrogressive. It is unconstitutional and it is a shame; this Bill. This Bill is a violation of the Constitution hon. colleagues and we have given countless examples of just how much it violates the Constitution. This Bill is an epitome, the manifestation and the face of impunity; this Bill. This Bill will lead to securitisation of our State to a level that even you, as representatives of the people, cannot bear. This Bill is an express visa to a return to the autocratic Jomo and Moi States that we thought we had buried in the dustbins of history.
