    "content": "I have had an opportunity to peruse through this proposed law. I have seen that it is a good law. We will be urging Members to support it though there may be need to make amendments during the Committee Stage. I have seen the definition of precincts of Parliament. If you look at--- A lot of times, Parliament conducts its proceedings even outside the jurisdiction of Kenya. When you look at the courts, they do not do things which affect matters touching other jurisdictions. In this case, the closest it can be is sub- clause 3(2), which states thus: “Where Parliament or a committee convenes outside the premises ordinarily used for its sittings, this Act shall apply as if the premises where Parliament or the committee is sitting were within the precincts of Parliament.” Therefore, that particular sub-clause proposed, takes care when a parliamentary committee has visited another jurisdiction to deliberate on matters touching the House, or while executing its mandate for the people of Kenya and happens to be outside the jurisdiction of Kenya; whatever matters happen there will be treated as they took place within this particular Parliament."
