"content": "Hon. Senators from the opposition need to understand that an election was won based on promises that were given to Kenyans. One of the promises is affordable housing. I have even heard Sen. Olekina trying to explain how we should not do housing because of A, B, C and D. While listening to him, I was wondering how these senior Members of this House understand the difference between social housing and affordable housing. We are not talking about social housing, which Sen. Olekina was talking about. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when the Kenya Government is done with affordable housing successfully, we will deal with the issue of social housing because that is also necessary. So, as I support this Affordable Housing Bill, I must say again that change is inevitable and developments will be brought to Kenya by force, by fire. I want to tell everybody in this House that if there is anybody who is going to ensure this country moves to where it needs to, it is His Excellency William Samoei Ruto because he is the Commander-in-Chief. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are from the Women Caucus today. I can tell you that the men who are opposing this affordable housing are not even at home half the time. They do not understand the deplorable houses that they are leaving all the women they have children with out there. As a woman who is in this House, I want to live in conditions that are befitting for us. We are tired of living in the slums and of you people just sending your baby Mamas left, right and centre and coming to the house to fight against affordable housing. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the President has the interest of all women at heart. I support this. I will be at the front of that list to ensure that women in the slums who do not have any form of dignified living, are being prioritised. I support this Bill and urge Sen. Olekina to go read the difference between social housing and affordable housing."

"content": "People of Migori, I am in the Senate today and I can see the same trend of people standing to support what is wrong. I can assure you that I stand with you. The way the structure of this Bill is, I cannot support it. More importantly, the way the debate around this Bill is being rushed in this House and forced down the throat of the people of Kenya- -- We have been given four minutes to discuss this Bill and forced to extend the House without participating in any particular Motion. People of Migori County, I am telling you, this is why the repealing of Section 2A came about during the Moi days. We are going to the dictatorial times of Moi. It is not only happening at the national level, but also in the House that you sent me to represent you. There are ways of dealing with this matter. I do not support this Affordable Housing Bill (National Assembly Bills No.75 of 2023). Because of how the Chair ran this House on this discussion today, I am going to walk out of this House in protest. I am protesting how the Chair has treated us in this House."
