I rise to speak on behalf of the great people of Mathira Constituency who are my employers and who inform my thinking on a day-to-day basis in whatever I say in this House. We are in unprecedented times. As we speak here about constitutional amendments, there are many Kenyans who have gone without food; there are many Kenyans without masks; there are many Kenyans who do not know where they will get the next meal; there are many Kenyans staring at death not because of COVID-19, but because of hunger; and, there are many Kenyans who have been thrown out of their houses because they are unable to pay rent."}
