"content": "Hon. Speaker, this is just out of curiosity. I know that you have a legal mind and you have been a magistrate. Would it be in order for me to ask you to clarify the rights of inmates? The Petition that you have just read to the House seems to be a petition where persons under incarceration are wishing to direct the Government on how to run its affairs. Those are people in jail. Would it be fair to ask whether they have a right to seek that direction? It seems to me that we may be misusing this particular provision. Many Kenyans do not have food on their tables and in prison there is food. If you can use this window of Parliament, stay in prison and be fed by Kenyans, would it not be okay just to stay there and keep doing your work? I am just curious. I know incarceration is not for fun. It is not even for work. You are kept away The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
