It is on the same issue because you know we have a digital President – a President that is current. Given the same issue that Mheshimiwa Kamama my friend raised, this Report is stale.

It is stale, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker because it does not even touch on the matters that are affecting us now.

Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also wish to voice my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the late. A great philosopher once said: “Immortality lies not in the things that you leave behind but in the hearts of the people you touched.” I think we all remember the late Kajwang’, especially on how he touched our lives. We do not know how much he has done or what he did in his constituency. We do not know much about his family. Even some of us do not even care to know even about his academic background. However, the ...

Hon. Speaker, I am still grateful for the opportunity to deal with the balance of time I had when I was discussing the Bill. Hon. Speaker, the last time I discussed this Bill I really dwelt on areas where we need to relook at those people who are deprived of their liberties.

people who have been arrested has been very fundamental because most of the prisons have not been looking at that issue comprehensively.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think hon. Kaluma made reference to me. It is true that he was actually making reference to the question of congestion in cells. I was discussing with him sometime about the congestion we have in our cells. I was arrested once and put in Kisii cells. I stayed there for like two weeks. It was a very congested place where every night was very agonizing. When it got to 6.00 p.m. you wondered how you would survive till morning. Congestion is very bad. The heat there is so bad and surviving until morning was terrible. ...

35 Tuesday 18th November, 2014 I also want to speak to the question of stripping; the issue of searching people who have been arrested. I know most of the people have a problem on how we search these people. Hon. Kaluma has been speaking to the issue of people being asked to appear naked and they search everywhere, including the cavities. The reason why this clause has to stay is because some criminals carry weapons. Some of them can even carry razor blades, phones and drugs in their cavities. This clause was meant to safeguard the security of all those ...
