Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate Members for supporting this amendment. I also want to thank the Committee that I sit on; that is, the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. I just want to encourage hon. Members that wherever we go to campaign, please, let us start by preaching peace. I want to agree with my younger brother, hon. Augstinho Oyugi, that we gave this Commission as a carrot and stick.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know my good friend, Mr. Ethuro, wanted us to finish today but I want to indicate that the issue of policy on population--- It would be irresponsible for me to be in the House and not speak to it because it affects women and children; as the hon.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that one of the things that I wrote in the novel “The Things we Lost with Freedom”---- Although it is fictional, it is anchored on some of the things I saw as I grew up.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to say that this woman is personally known to me. She was the chairperson of the Christian Union when I was in the university. This is a case whereby a foreigner has propagated a lot of negative statements about this woman after assaulting her. All that the Assistant Minister can say is that she can go to another Government authority. What I would like the Assistant Minister to clarify is: Do we have a Government? This woman is Kenyan and the person who assaulted her is a foreigner. A foreigner is dictating ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for that response, and for being alive to the fact that we have Article 37 of the Constitution. If he wants to use Article 24, he must read it together with Article 37, which provides for the right to assembly, demonstration, picketing and petition. The Minister has tried to give us conditions which they will be using in the law he intends to introduce under Article 24, which would allow people to use the circumstances that hon. Khalwale referred to; that demonstrating members of the public can throw maize into the ...
