    "content": "Hon. Members, when Hon. Mutua was moving this Bill, she gave examples of passengers in a ferry. This was when she was describing the new definition of “indecent act”. The Bill reads: “Indecent act” includes an unlawful intentional act which causes any contact between any part of the body of a person with the genital organs, breasts or buttocks of another, but does not include an act that causes penetration”. Are the buttocks and others covered by clothes? This is because it is an indecent act. Hon. Florence gave an example of people travelling in a ferry and incidents of people being touched. Are they exposed? Unless they are nude, how is it going to be defined? I am just raising this so that as Hon. Florence takes notes - because she will still have an opportunity to reply – to clarify to Members so that they can understand. This will ensure that as they contribute they are also aware how those things are supposed to be defined. More importantly, Dr. Ombaka talked about public education of all concerned including the officers involved in enforcement. However, I think it is important that, that particular aspect is clarified so that Members do not oppose the Bill. They do not know how those areas will be touched by the body of another person when not defined whether they are exposed or not. Hon. Cecilia Ngetich, the Floor is yours."
