    "content": "I support the Bill of Exchange Act because when we are talking of the East African Community (EAC), we need to include all the Member countries which were not there before. I support the Prisons Act changes because it gives the opportunity for the prison wardens to play the role of police and that equalises in terms of how they operate under law. I support the question of the rights of refugees. We have to be sympathetic to other people when they are in need and not allow them to be mistreated as if they have no rights. Circumstances change and that can happen to anybody. I support the Children Act in terms of clarifying the membership to the council. I also support the changes in the Police Act as this will bring alignment. Most of the changes proposed here are aligning provisions to ensure that the Acts are in line with our new Constitution and for clarity, where we have State officers such as Cabinet Secretaries (CS) or Members of Parliament. Most of these provisions are for purposes of clarifications. On the retirement benefits for the President and other officers like the Chief Justice (CJ), this is good because it will take care of such persons who have dedicated their time in serving this country."
