    "content": "Part II of the Bill defines what crimes are and prohibits any justification whatsoever for committing these acts on a person. It further defines aiding and abetting and it gives powers to our courts to specifically act on these crimes. More importantly is the power it gives to the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights and that perhaps is the most important part I see in this Bill. The Commission has all the powers from investigations, promoting rights of the individual, freedom of the individual, getting all the information, monitoring that there is compliance to the law and to issue summons and orders and to recommend effective measures. All these are things that were unthinkable in the past. Now that we are putting structures in place for them is extremely important. That gives us reason to support. I ask all my colleagues to support this Bill"
