Offenders who have served their full sentences and released under the law could have their criminal records expunged from government systems should a proposed Bill be approved by the National Assembly.
The proposed Bill by Embakasi East MP Babu Owino – the Criminal Procedure Code (Amendment) Bill, 2024 – seeks to have the records of offenders expunged from their police clearance certificates such as the Good Conduct Certificate once they have served time for a crime. However, murderers, terrorists, and those who engage in sexual offences such as rape, defilement, sodomy and incest will be exempted from having their records expunged.
