"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity for me to add my weight to this housing matter. When you look at the value chain of the stakeholders involved in this housing project, plumbers, masons, carpenters, electricians and engineers--- we have young people in the villages whose talent is to make bricks that are going to tap directly into this project. Those who are not in support of this affordable housing project need to understand that when you are putting on shoes, you may not know that there are people who do not have shoes out here. We must have sympathy and empathise with them. When an opportunity has come in this country for us to embrace these Kenyans, let us do so with the speed that it deserves. The President of the Republic of Kenya was in Bungoma to launch this project. I was there and other stakeholders were there. It would be against my moral standing to sit here and see this noble project being shut down by my good friends, who do not understand what housing is. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this and plead with my good friends, from Vihiga County and Busia County to join the winning team; to join us to shelter our great people from Mulembe nation. The time has come to move from the grass-thatched houses and to live in the confines of cool and permanent structures in this country."

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. On my own behalf and on behalf of the people that I represented, the people of Nyandarua County, I rise to support this particular Bill. I am persuaded that as a people, I would want to borrow the words that have been used by my colleagues here, for us it is not necessary to make popular decisions; it is to make the right decisions. If we cannot as a people and as elected leaders, speak about ensuring that we create employment opportunities for our people, then we shall have been very unfair to them because they voted for us and we expect we shall go back to them and ask for votes. As a young person, the young elected Senator in this particular House, it would be morally wrong for me to vote to deny my agemates and my colleagues who have given me an opportunity to come to this House, a job opportunity. It would hurt my heart if I were to vote today to tell the 200 young people who are in the construction site in Ol Kalou, Engineer and in Kinangop, the Constituency where I come from, to go home whereas I went to them and asked to be given a job by them. Secondly, and finally, because I do not want to take a lot of time, look at the effect of this particular Bill that we are speaking about. Look at the economic effect of this particular Bill that we are speaking about. The Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya, Hon. Rigathi Gachagua, is very passionate about fighting alcoholism. If we fight alcoholism and we are not able to provide job opportunities to our people, why then should we fight alcoholism."
