"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was standing because you were not on your feet. Otherwise, I would have sat down immediately. I appreciate what you are saying. However, I was speaking to the letter and spirit of the Constitution, 2010. It was meant for a short period of only 20 years and to right a wrong against Kenyans, who live in those areas that I have tabulated. There has been further wisdom and this has been expanded to include areas that are marginalised. It is going to call upon this House to reflect on this matter very seriously. It is because at the end of the day, we might as well call the entire country marginalised. There is no county in Kenya today, that does not have a region, village, sublocation or location, which would not require support from marginalisation. Even the great Nairobi City County, has got Mukuru kwa Njenga and Kibera slums. Automatically, you would record it as a marginalised area. These are the things that we are supposed to speak to with honesty, maturity and a lot of reflection. We should feel pain like the Turkana, Somalis in Garissa, Pokots and Pokomos. These are people who have really been disadvantaged because of a policy. So,"
