MPs of Kenya parliament

Kenyans have fought for freedoms of speech enshrined in the new constitution. This bill would eliminate the ability of civil society and the press to comment on the shenanigans in parliament, and would invade the privacy of constituents and their freedom of expression. We call on right-thinking MPs in parliament: Do not pass Parliamentary Powers & Privileges Bill.
