    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support these amendments, but without reservations having seen several issues which are of concern, mainly the sexual offences which Hon. Nyokabi has already pointed out. In this country, we have known 18 years as the age of obtaining an ID card, voting and it is termed as the age of maturity. For this reason, I am sure all KEWOPA members will not accept any minimum age, not even 17 years and nine months. When I look at the amendment to the National Police Service Act, it is in good order to have police officers, APs and administration police and the rest. Very recently, we have had issues in the counties where the Kenya Police, who are commonly known to be in blue uniform and APs, who are commonly known to be in different uniform, not having a correlation while handling issues. In fact, in my Committee, we have had this issue time and again. We realised that in some counties, conflicts always emerge when the police in blue are in charge of a situation or a place and something happened. There were always issues that the other police were not responsible for. When all members of the Service mean all those other Service members, it will make the work easier. I cannot fail to point out the issue of persons with disabilities, particularly noting the Persons with Disability Act is of concern. I have amended this Act some time back and I am happy with the media houses because they have already implemented the law. It is working through sign language interpreters. I am very happy with this amendment which says that the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
