"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are forgetting the objective of this piece of legislation. The main object of this legislation is to give effect to the provision of the Constitution to access to decent housing to every Kenyan. We know legislation does not exist in a vacuum. If we legislate on affordable housing, we need to know how we will fund this project. That is why the Government proposed the 3 per cent levy. The Kenyans complained and the levy went down to 1.5. It is our honour. We are privileged as the Senate and Parliament to be the ones who oversee the creation of this law, the implementation of this law and the provision of affordable houses to Kenyans. I am surprised that Sen. Sifuna does not support this. If there is anybody who needs this affordable housing, it is Nairobians. The other day I went to a matanga in a slum---"

Let us not be one-sided about this programme, but look at it wholesomely. Leadership is not about making popular decisions. That is why you were elected to make decisions on behalf of the people in your county. Do not go listening to the voices of your county residents who do not fully understand. You are the ones who are supposed to guide them. Let them know what this entails, so that they all benefit from this. You know very well that even as you oppose it, you will be the first ones to want your people to benefit from it. Let us not be hypocrites."
