To answer this, a party of Raila Odinga The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), a party that Passaris comes from has elaborated on their position on the issue.
Did the ODM rejected the proposal of the Passaris bill?
Suna East MP and minority leader in the National Assembly, Junet Mohamed, appears to suggest that the party is separated from the opposition bill The procession of Passaris.
“ODM has nothing to do with the bill, it is a personal bill, belongs to a private member, not us,” Junet told the Nation.
Junet, however, confirmed that the proposal has not yet been a bill as it has not yet been published or through a complete process.
“The Budget Committee has to check whether the bill has financial impact before the Speaker notes whether the bill should be passed or not,” he added.
He said the bill has a 50-50 position approved by members of Parliament.
When the bill was considered, Nyakach MP Aduma Owour and MP Kisumu Rosa Buyu, all of the ODM party, said that the bill was impossible to change the country’s status.
The MPs questioned how people would be banned from reaching some parts of Nairobi’s central trading district, while the area could be reached from different places.
What is the result if one breaks the Passaris proposal being made into law
The women’s representative said that there would be a penalty for those who would defy the proposal as soon as the parliament approved it.

The bill proposes a strong effect, including the conviction or payment of a fine to anyone who violates the law.
Those who violate the law will face a minimum fine of KSh 100,000 or imprisonment not exceeding three months or both.
Passaris’ proposal also stated that reservoirs and buildings where court rooms are located should be outside the boundaries for protesting Kenyans.
Cabinet secretaries were given the authority to appoint gatherings and protests in the capital and other urban areas.
He said that the reason for his proposal to protest the protest was because he felt the need to ensure that protesters did not violate the rights of other people when they exercise their rights.
He said that although most of the protesters have good intentions, there are a few bad ones who turn them into chaos.
