    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, is the Senator for Narok in order to keep misleading the House in defining what marginalized is. His statement is that marginalization is not poverty. However, poverty is as a result of marginalization. The dictionary defines marginalized as a person, group or concept treated as insignificant or peripheral. Those people who have been living in abject poverty in the slums of Nairobi have been treated as insignificant or peripheral. Beyond the dictionary, the Constitution in Article 260 defines what a marginalized community is. It states (1) “a community that, because of its relatively small population or for any reason, has been unable to fully participate in the integrated, social and economic life of Kenya as a whole. There are many of those in Nairobi including the Nubians in Kibera, the Oromos and Boranas in Kiamaiko. Sen. (Rev.) Waqo knows them. I was with them last week. They are marginalized and have never been brought up to speed. (2) A traditional community that, out of a need or desire to preserve its unique culture and identity from assimilation, has remained outside the integrated social and economic life of Kenya as a whole; A marginalized group is a group of people who because of laws or practices before, on or after an effective date, were or are disadvantaged by discrimination on one or more of the grounds in Article 27(4). There are groups in this city that have been discriminated from development because of their ethnicity. If you go to Kibra, many successive governments in the city have ignored those people because of being politically-incorrect. They are also marginalized. You know what I am talking about. It is not a race to the bottom. We are not trying to see whose poverty is worse. I am saying Nairobi City County must be included. I have not said Narok should be removed. So, why do you have a problem with Nairobi City County? My vote is only one."
