    "content": "shed that we built on behalf of the jua kali artisans who work there. The jua kali sector contributes a significant amount of revenue compared to people in white collar jobs. Those who work from 8.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m., or in shifts, contribute a very small percentage of the revenue compared to those who fend for themselves on a day-to-day basis. With just the stroke of a pen, you render thousands of people jobless. It is evident that there are bad people who are spoiling the whole industry by vandalising transformers and manhole covers, like where I come from in Mombasa. Let us ensure that punitive measures are imposed if one is caught with manhole covers or transformers. However, shutting down a whole industry without following the right process is totally wrong. The wording of the Constitution of Kenya in terms of the democracy that we enjoy is that sovereign power belongs to the people. That power has only been delegated to all of us here. That is why when such pieces of legislation come through gazette notices, they have to pass through this House, so that the voices of the people can be heard."
