fictitious data or misinformation in line with the requirement set out under article 27(4) of the Constitution. The Committee will also propose to insert new clauses after Clause 16. This is basically to enhance and enrich the penalties. The Committee will propose to delete Clause 24 of the Bill which allows for search of premises without a warrant. All the stakeholders complained about this. After lengthy deliberations, it was felt that there is no sufficient justification that exists to allow a search without a warrant. My colleague from the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security will tell us if ...

The Committee will propose to delete Clause 13 on child pornography and amend the current Section 16 of the Sexual Offences Act to harmonise it with the proposals contained in the Bill, so that we do not duplicate. Under the amendment, the Committee further proposes to add a further provision of the Sexual Offences Act to provide for the offences of sexual communication with a child.

So, this Bill is very important. I urge all the Members to go through the Report and read the Bill. Currently, most countries in the world like Nigeria, South Africa, Pakistan, United States of America (USA), United Arab Emirates, and United Kingdom (UK) have already enacted this Bill. If we do not have this law, we are likely to lose investors who want to come to our country but they are not sure because their resources are not safe. Many organisations have lost resources. Banks have lost a lot of money but no one is willing to declare what they ...

With those few remarks, I beg to second. If there is any part of the Bill that you believe it is offensive, we are willing and available, so that we can make the necessary amendments. We want to come up with a law for posterity. I second, Hon. Speaker.

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Musimba has a lot of interest in this Bill. I am requesting that even if you do not give him half an hour, at least give him a minimum of 20 minutes so that we do not engage in circles. Let him speak, because he had requested that we delay the Bill, but we told him to come to the Chamber, speak and during the Committee of the whole House, he can also bring his amendments. I will request you to at least give him 20 minutes.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Just like my colleagues, I rise to support this Motion. Some of us who were in Nairobi in the late 1980s and early 1990s will agree with me that the transport system was very good that time. I remember the number of vehicles within the city center were very few that time. There was no need to even drive your own vehicle to town. If you wanted to go to Ngong, that is where I used to live, you could get a vehicle going through Kiserian, Kenya Bus No.145 and No.111. It was very ...

Just the other day, you sent us to a trip to Malaysia. In 1970s, Malaysia and Kenya were at par. They were at the same level of development. However, if you see what they have done in the last 50 years of their independence, it is quite different from what we have done. They have under-buses and a rail transport within the city. We took 25 minutes from the airport to the city centre, which is 50 kilometers away. In Nairobi, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) is about 16 kilometers from the City centre, but one would take almost three ...
