• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Clause 3 of the Bill reiterates the constitutional entitlements of all the fundamental rights. What does the constitutional give these people? What are their fundamental rights? What are the freedoms of the people who have been deprived of their liberty? Clause 5 of the Bill mandates the human and dignified treatment of every person who has been deprived of liberty. There are specific mandates within this Bill on how they enjoy their human dignified treatment. Clause 9 of the Bill requires that any institution holding arrested persons to maintain a receipt book to detail the property of the person being ... view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: They are very important and fundamental organs of the body. Clause 11 provides that aliens deprived of liberty shall be immediately informed of such a fact and their right to consular or diplomatic assistance. This Bill is very good. Even aliens and refugees from Somalia, Ethiopia, Congo and South Sudan; cannot be deprived of their rights. The moment they are arrested, that officer must inform their diplomatic mission in the country or the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Clause 13 provides for separate accommodation arrangements for various categories of persons deprived of liberty. It is like this Bill ... view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am only giving hon. Nuh and myself as an example. If he commits a traffic offence on his way from Parliament this evening and he is put in Kilimani Police Station--- If this law was in place, he would still communicate with his party leader. He would still communicate with the people in Migori. He would still continue the Okoa Magerer, Okoa Kenya initiatives. The same would apply to me if I committed a crime. I would still support the President from where I am and propagate the Jubilee Manifesto. I would do that even ... view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: President, Deputy Speaker and I. We were still in our mothers’ wombs, Kindergartens or nursery. I can tell you if we had been born, we would have been more serious guys than those who claim that they fought for space. Today I want to assure everybody that if this law is passed and you are put in custody or jail--- This is a serious reform agenda. With those many remarks, I beg to move and ask--- view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know you have asked why he is in a black cap today. Little did you know he was part of the men in black at Kasarani. He was the ring leader. So, he has only left the coat and the trouser but the cap is still on. I do not know whether he was also the leader of Okoa Magerer in Orange House, but these are side shows. I beg to move and ask hon. (Dr.) Shaban to second. view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. This is another of the constitutional Bills that this House is, indeed, required to pass within the time period that we have given ourselves. I am quite glad that yesterday we dispensed with one and we are here again dispensing with this very important Bill; the Persons Deprived of Liberty Bill, 2014. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, indeed, the implementation of this Bill will revolutionise quite a lot; enjoyment of rights by persons who are arrested. The provision of rights to liberty means ... view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: arrested in very normal condition, and hours later they are found with broken limbs and deformed faces in a cell. These things clearly portray how a person was treated. Under Clause 5 of this Bill, there is something here that talks about the rights to human treatment; the law here is very clear that a person must be treated humanely, taken good care of, must not be mistreated and there is a penalty that has been given here. It says:- “Any person who subjects a person deprived of liberty to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment commits an offence and shall ... view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: come and seek medical attention in Nairobi; sometimes they want to move from bad conditions of a camp. Due to their ignorance of the laws of this country, you find them arrested. I can assure you that the conditions in which they are kept are very inhumane. This law is very clear and says that such persons, or aliens, who are arrested must immediately be given a right to seek diplomatic assistance from embassies. In the case of Somalia whose embassy is, of course, in existence but may not be active, I want to say that agencies that are responsible ... view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: The other thing is the right to medical care. It is very important that prisoners are given medical care. From the stories that we hear, many of the prisoners happen to be unwell but do not get medical care. I will bring an amendment to provide that persons who are arrested and are known to have certain medical conditions and under medication should be allowed to immediately access medicine that they use. If somebody is hypertensive or diabetic and they use medicines on a daily basis, as the records are being done, they should also be given the right to ... view
