What this means

The index files this text under article 117 of the Constitution of Kenya.
The passage runs to about 50 words.

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“(1) There shall be freedom of speech and debate in Parliament.”), so it is not used as the provision’s title here.

The index gives this passage an article number but stores a body fragment where a heading would be, so the number could not be cross-checked against the text. Check it against the official Constitution before relying on it in a citation.

No rights vocabulary from our fixed word list appears in this passage, so no plain-language reading is offered for it.

This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
