    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill with certain amendments. I wish to address the issue of a scourge that is spreading in this country; a vice that has become very dangerous. As Kenyans, we have acknowledged in the preamble of our Constitution, in the first paragraph, the supremacy of the almighty Yahweh El-Ohim . We also recognise the inherent dignity of every person. It is an inalienable right. It is a national value that we espouse in Article 10 of the Constitution. Dignity about the human body is self-respect and self-worth. I have noted that the Bill addresses the issue of child pornography extensively but not pornography as a whole. That is the vice and scourge that is spreading in this nation. Pornography in its entirety has been addressed in other Acts and in other pieces of legislation. For example, the Media Act prohibits publication of vulgar or obscene material but this Bill does not address pornography at large. Pornography is an act which debases a human being. It makes a human being’s value lost. It debases not only women but also men. It is my humble submission that indeed we must incorporate outright the banning of access to pornography via the internet in Kenya. It is destroying the social fabric of this country. It has become a national inequity. It is so closely related to drugs. I say this because it is known that a generation is growing up that believes that pornography is a natural act of sex, and that in order to perform these vile acts available on the internet, one has to take drugs. They engage in all night orgies in private residences in Nairobi and other urban areas. This abnormal behaviour is being influenced by The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
