"content": "Okay. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I am trying to explain why we are limiting these houses to one person; for one individual, one house. For instance, you could have 100 wives, 10 to 20 children, but we are saying these houses are meant for the poor people and for the low-income earners. If we say that we are allowing everybody to buy what he wants, then everyone will not get what he wants. What we want is for those people to get what they want, so that these houses can be equally distributed. Consequently, that is the justification of this clause."

"content": "Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, that was exactly my problem with this provision. That we are legislating for poverty, not for prosperity. When I was making my submission, I was saying that after five to 10 years, everyone has a house. So, what are we going to put in the law that since Sen. Cheruiyot already has a house somewhere in Langata, and after ten years there are additional and excess houses, that will stop him from going for the second round? Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, that is poor legislative drafting and those are poor proposals that should not come in this law. Article 117 of the Constitution talks about Powers and Privileges of Parliament. It provides unfettered freedom of speech and expression. Those people who today want to limit my speech and expression, we shall wait for you and your day will come when someone will have to stand up for your right of expression and freedom of speech. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I believe because the two minutes are not over, that even after I have prosecuted my reservations on Clause 42 (b), that all other Members with a contrary view must also be allowed to contribute because this is the only time when Senators can write laws. Finally, when I am here ---"

He could have an amendment that it should be open-ended, so that we bring it to the vote at the Third Reading."
