    "content": "Hon. Members, Standing Order No.225(2)(b) requires that the Speaker reports to the House any petition, other than those presented through a Member. I, therefore, wish to convey to the House that my office has received a petition from three inmates from Naivasha Maximum Prison; namely, Nicholas Okoth, Nicholas Ouma and Richard Chemenzo, regarding radicalisation of inmates, review of the Penal Code and amnesty of inmates who have served for more than seven years. The Petitioners are praying that the National Assembly:- (1) Considers providing for establishment of a special prison/unit for terrorists and pirates to curb the alarming rate of radicalisation in prisons. (2) Review the Penal Code to align it with the Constitution. (3) Recommend for blanket amnesty for inmates who have served for more than seven years. (4) Advocates for immediate relocation of the motor vehicle number plate production industry from the Kamiti Maximum Prison to the National Youth Service Headquarters, amongst other prayers. The Petition, therefore, shall stand committed to the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. The Committee is requested to consider the Petition and report its findings in accordance to Standing Order 227(2) and also give this Petition due attention since this is the second time that the National Assembly is receiving a petition from persons under incarceration. The first petition of this kind was received on 23rd February 2015 and conveyed to the House on 10th March, 2015."
