    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I equally rise to support the Petitions. This is a House of rules. It is within the rights of every citizen to petition this House on any matter that arises, and that right is not limited even if a matter touches on politicians. Any public member can petition this House on anything. Hon. Speaker, we need to re-look at the whole issue of public expenditures in terms of abuse of Article 223 of the Constitution, because as my colleagues have just said, it has become the norm that public actors in outgoing regimes create ways of making money for themselves. They draft a system of withdrawing money from public coffers without checks and balances. This is not limited to the national Government. It also happens with the county governments. Eventually, this malpractice affects the common mwananchi . We must, therefore, re-look at this law. Nobody should view this Petition from a political inclination point of view because it is a matter of public interest brought to the House by an individual citizen of this country. We must support every petitioner and give them fair hearing so that we get to the bottom of a matter raised."
