    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This Petition by Amos Ndung’u Kamotho on the rights of students, freedom of expression and freedom of elections is guaranteed in our Constitution under Article 81 and is timely. In 1992, before the repeal of Section 2A of the Constitution, some of us were still students in the University of Nairobi. We participated in the re-introduction of SONU in 92 together with T.J. Kajwang’, the people’s Chief Justice, Hon. Kabando wa Kabando, Moses Kuria and others. Hon. Sankok, you came later after we had done the good work. The gains we made should not be lost. In the universities statutes, there is provision for congressmen for the various campuses and halls to be elected. Even at the level of officials like the SONU President and others, they should also be elected directly by the people. This is not expensive and there is no reason for the University of Nairobi to form electoral colleges."
