What you need to know:
- Mr John Kiptoo, who is the President of Bunge la Mwananchi, told the Parliamentary Committee on National Security and Administration that there was a need for a clear policy on how to engage former security officers to help in combating crime.
- Kenyans, who turned out for the public hearings at County Hall, Nairobi, Wednesday commended the government decision to re-look the country’s laws touching on security to find a solution to the increased terrorist attacks.
Some areas would be out of bound for protesters if a proposed legislation before Parliament becomes law.
The Security Laws (Amendment) Bill gives Interior Cabinet Secretary powers to designate areas and the time at which public meetings, gatherings or public processions may be held.
