    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I can see the Hon. Member for Kibra is around. According to the Constitution of Kenya and the UN Convention, freedom from any form of torture, cruelty, inhuman or degrading treatment is a non-derogable right. It is one that cannot be suspended or waived at any particular time or in any circumstance. You cannot wave your right to dignity. That is basically what the Constitution and the Convention state. However, acts of torture continue to be perpetuated by state agencies against civilians. This is according to reports emanating from within the country and internationally. This Bill reminds me of the 10th Parliament when I was a Member of Parliament for Dujis. In 2010, I was sacked by the then Prime Minister from being a Deputy Minister for Livestock. One time, the Kenya Defence Forces decided to do all forms of torture to the great residents of Garissa Town and this has a mark in my life. Torture exists. It exists in everyday 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."
