    "content": "A Committee that is given authority to do work for this House and country must be proactive, read and understand the law, and be able to cause things to be done in accordance with the law without necessarily asking you to give directions. This is because the law is the law; it is clear and must be followed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want the Committee that you will commit this Petition to, to in fact, summon the Director of Procurement from the National Treasury to explain why this process has not been done since the passage of the law and this Constitution. To date, women, youth and Persons With Disabilities (PWDs) continue crying because it is business as usual. As I finish, I also want to pay tribute to the Saba Saba celebrations of today. I want to urge that the level of brutality being meted on Kenyans in very peaceful causes is worrying and frightening. When we were students at the university, and probably my brother from Mandera could remember, we used to routinely celebrate J.M. Day. In fact, the University was always destined for closure on J.M. Day. The Government brutalized Kenyans until J.M. Day died; nobody talks about it. You cannot be having Mashujaa Day engraved in our Constitution and celebrated around the country, when the heroes and mashujaas of this country cannot be mentioned by peaceful processions by the people of this country."
