    "content": "This Bill proposes to amend the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) Act No.25 of 2012 to provide for an alternative to the death penalty following a court martial’s judgement. In the same section, it also seeks to harmonise the provision of the Act which relates to the oath of allegiance, which will be taken by a person who joins the KDF. Finally, it also seeks to amend Section 304(1) to empower the KDF Council to make regulations with regard to the establishment of the Pension Assessment Board. When the KDF Council forwarded the regulations to the House, it was advised by both the Committee on Delegated Legislation and our Legal Department to amend Section 304(1). Unless they do that, the regulations will remain null and void. Once we make this amendment, then, they can bring those regulations in order to help them run the Pension Assessment Board and the Pensions Appeals Board for the KDF."
