    "content": "The specific issue I want to speak about is that this Bill has a direct effect on something we call social justice. This language is only understood by some of us who work in the ghettos. This is access to service delivery, wealth and economic stimuli. For a long time, we have been worried on how to implement social justice in terms of Articles 43, 51 and 100 of the Constitution. I have seen a Bill coming for Second Reading from the Senate which is grappling with the issue of social justice on access to economic and social rights. If you look at this Bill which is before us and I think we will be debating it in a few moments time, it gives theory, but this is the kind of Bill that talks directly to what can be done to a specific person, to enable him/her run his/her own business and put money in the pocket. We are talking about mama uji, mama samaki and not the big people who are able to bring fish from the shores of Lake Victoria where the Member for Suba North comes from. We are talking about this person who gets it from Gikomba and is able to cuddle in some space in the ghetto to fry some fish which people can buy in the evening. We are talking about mama orenge . These are the kind of people who are hard hit."
