    "content": "Thank you Hon. Speaker. I wish to second this Bill by saying that the Constitution guarantees the Kenyan people the freedom of expression and association. Those freedoms are necessary for Kenyans to express their will in whatever issues they have. The principle of contempt of court has been in some occasions used by the courts to deny Kenyans freedom of expression. In some cases, some Kenyans have not been able to express their opinion in certain areas because of fear of the principle of contempt of court. This law, in my considered opinion, is now going to set the record clear so that any Kenyan, when faced with a situation of whether he is guilty of contempt of court or not, shall have the principles set out.
