The Sexual Offences Bill in Kenya has come closer to enactment after sailing through the second reading in Parliament. The Bill, sponsored by Nominated MP Njoki Ndung'u, will now go to the committee of the whole House where members will scrutinise it clause-by-clause. In this stage, members are allowed to amend it on the floor of the House. Once members agree on the amendments, the Bill goes to the third stage, for presidential assent.
