"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this important Bill, the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020. I am sad and my heart is bleeding because we are losing our loved ones due to COVID- 19. Hundreds are buried at the Lang’ata Cemetery every day and we are here discussing about the BBI rather than addressing the issue of COVID-19. I am sad. I am not happy. As legislators we have also talked about COVID-19 and how people are dying. The other concern I have is for the people of Wajir South Constituency and Ijara Constituency. They have been sidelined. They were supposed to get extra constituencies. This is pure discrimination. The people of Wajir South and Ijara have the largest areas in Kenya. Wajir South is the second largest and Ijara is the fifth with populations of 350,000 and 300,000 people respectively. They have been discriminated. For that reason, I have my concern but I support the BBI."
