    "content": "discussing a report on Kenya on extrajudicial killings. We were there with the then Minister for Interior and Coordination of National Government, the late Prof. Saitoti and the late Mutula Kilonzo as the Minister for Justice and Legal Affairs. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Council at that international level had very accurate reports of extrajudicial killings in Kenya. The majority of the cases were in the Coast, Nairobi City and North Eastern. There is nothing as bad as appearing before an international organisation, a UN organisation and evidence is laid before you showing who was killed where. There was also the case of enforced disappearances. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Constitution of Kenya does not just support the right to life of those who are already born. Even the rights of an unborn child are protected under our Constitution. In some very progressive countries where the reproductive rights of women are recognized, certain abortions can be carried out. However, when we were discussing the issue on the right to life, we were so particular on the right to life such that even the right of the unborn child was protected under the Constitution. It is not just the right of those who are living, but those who are to be born."
