Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Firearms Act is an Act of Parliament that deals with regulation, licencing, control, possession and use of firearms and ammunition. The Firearm Licensing Board appointed under Section 3 of the Act, can issue, cancel, terminate or vary any licence or permit issued under the Firearms Act. Among the considerations for one in the possession of a firearm or ammunition is that it shall not be a danger to public safety or to the peace. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the arrests that followed the swearing-in were effected based on Section 40 of Penal Code which states that: “Any person who, owing allegiance to the Republic of Kenya or elsewhere; (a)Compasses, imagines, invents devises or intends- (i)The death, maiming or wounding, or the imprisonment or restraint of the President; or, (ii)The deposing by unlawful means of the President from his position as President or from the style, honor and name of the Head of State and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kenya; (iii)The overthrow by unlawful means of the Government; and, (b)Expresses, utters or declares any such compassing, imaginations, inventions, devices or intentions by publishing and printing or writing or by any overt act or deed is guilty of the office of treason. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government relied on Section 40 of the Penal Code to sanction action after the purported swearing-in. Thank you."
