    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to support this amendment. At the outset, I support this Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020. It brings us to what we are supposed to be doing as Kenyans. We should ensure that Kenyans live together. The introduction of the Article on those in our Constitution is reminding us what we are supposed to be doing as a country in order to live together. I feel that, as Kenyans, we should share our resources equitably. We should feel Kenyan just like our forefathers sat together and created a country called Kenya. We should make sure that it works using whichever method. I think this idea of trying to change the Constitution is the right way to go. We should also ensure that we pay taxes together as Kenyans. Not to have some people pay and others enjoying. That is why I think Clause 18(a) was introduced to remind us that our responsibility will come in handy at a particular point. Also, we should respect the rule of law if we want to make a nation we are proud of. We have to ensure that we grow and celebrate together as a country."
