    "content": "That is the genesis. Let me now go to the highlights of the Bill. Part I of the Bill provides for the definition of terms and application of the Bill. Clause 3 provides for the scope of the application. How far can we apply this piece of legislation? We can apply by clearly stating that this law applies to the citizens of Kenya or persons under the jurisdiction of Kenya at the time of the commission of the offence. So, this law is applicable on torture against our citizens or other people who live within our jurisdictions. For instance, this House passed the Kenya/UK Defence Agreement. We have forces who conduct military exercises in our country. In the event they commit torture or inhuman and degrading punishment to any of our citizens, then this piece of legislation once assented to law, will apply. That is what Clause 3 of the Bill says and the commission becomes an offence."
