Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I may not be able to speak about many others because I do not know. I went through the correspondences from the CRA that mentioned those counties. Therefore, I did not want to bring up the issue of Meru alone, when other counties were mentioned. However, for the purposes of specificity, I would want the matter on Meru County referred to the Committee and be dealt with on its own merit, because we would be able to prove that case to them.

We have had serious engagements and interaction with the prisoners. It is true that they wanted us to address how we can work out a system whereby after leaving their correctional institutions, they ...

This aspect of certificate of good conduct is one of the ways that would easily make the people aware even as they leave prisons to show the public that they have reformed and are remorseful and fit to go back to society.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, depending on what kind of crime one has committed, probably even for those very serious offences, one has to look at the offence on its own merit.

You may kill not just because you want to, but the circumstances require you to do exactly that. For this matter, we would not want to condemn that person completely because you must understand the background under which the ...
