    "content": "Clause 7 creates an offence where one is liable. Clause 9 renders as inadmissible evidence any information obtained through torture. If you use torture to retrieve information that you want to use in a court of law, this legislation says that, that evidence is inadmissible because it is obtained through torture. This is what the people of northern Kenya went through. I am sure my late dad and many people during the 1960s and 1970s in the times of the Shifta wars or MauMau and even during the Mungiki uprising, were tortured. Many people were tortured for them to speak and give information. So, Clause 9 deals with that. It further creates the offence of using information obtained through torture and its penalty. If you torture a person and it is found that you tortured to get information or evidence, you also have to face the law.
