We must thank ourselves as Kenyans for having passed such a progressive Constitution in 2010, which gives Kenyans a right to Petition us on an important issue such as the one that has been presented before us this afternoon. It is a good connection between the work we do as parliamentarians and Kenyans who believe in us. Kenyans can approach us through a Petition as provided for in Article 119 of the Constitution for us to intervene."}
