Yussuf Farah","speaker":null,"content":" I mean to oppose this Petition. In Islam, suicide is not allowed, and I want to quote the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam : “Indeed, whoever intentionally kills himself, then certainly, he will be punished in the hell fire.” If God himself decided to punish those who commit suicide, as human beings, we have no power not to punish them. I believe that anybody who attempts to take his own soul should be punished. With those few remarks, I oppose the Petition. Thank you."},{"id":1463765,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1463765/?format=json","text_counter":100,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

Yusuf Hassan","speaker":{"id":398,"legal_name":"Yusuf Hassan Abdi","slug":"yusuf-hassan-abdi"},"content":" Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Petition by Prof. Atwoli on this critical issue of suicide. This House should not mix their religious beliefs and our ability to legislate justice for all our citizens. Those who are committing suicide are mostly people with mental illnesses, those who are not psychologically balanced and have problems in their own lives and feel that it is not worth living on earth. So, bringing in biblical or Quranic verses in order to oppose is out of place. I think we should decriminalise it and make sure that the patients who survive get the medical attention that they need psychologically, and any other necessary help. I heard some Member mention that we will be encouraging more people to commit suicide, but even if you took people who are not balanced and have survived suicide attempts to prison, they can still hang themselves in prison. There is no deterrent. I think we should give them the support that they need. We should protect them and make sure that they get cured so that they can enjoy living happy and wonderful lives in Kenya and in this world. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."},{"id":1463767,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1463767/?format=json","text_counter":102,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

Katiba yetu inatambua dini zote. Katika Uislamu, kujiweka kitanzi ni kati ya dhambi kubwa sana, na ninaamini kwamba hata kwenye Bibilia ni hivyo. Lakini pia Qurani inasema kwamba watu ambao hawaandikiwi madhambi ni watatu; yule ambaye hana akili mpaka wakati akili itakaporudi, mtoto mdogo na yule ambaye amelala mpaka The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Kwa hivyo, kama kutakuwa na njia ya kuhakikisha kweli hana akili, hapo tutasema hana dhambi. Kuna watu ambao wanatumia hizi nafasi vibaya; kwa mfano, mtu akikosana na bwanake, pengine ameoa bibi mwingine, anakunywa na kuleta sarakasi. Huyo anafaa kuadhibiwa. Sisi wengine angalau tunakubali wanne. Kwa hivyo, mambo mengine yasiingizwe katikati na mtu akatumia nafasi hiyo.
