    "content": " Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I also stand to support the Motion. The so-called SRC has become a nightmare in Kenyans’ livelihoods. Theirs is to threaten, to chop whatever they see without any consultation, without any basis of the law, without public participation and without looking at the negative effect that it will have on the Kenyan population. It is as if they are hyenas who have been released on a herd of goats to do justice. What can a hyena do to a herd of goats? It is just to eat and chew. Nothing else. The SRC has given itself powers that the Constitution has not given them. They have gone out of their way to give themselves authority that is nowhere else in this country. I remember sometime early this year when National Assembly had a recess and SRC appeared there, when they were asked few questions, their answers were very unsatisfactory. Theirs was a sort of self-defence, no logic behind it. Therefore, I think this very noble House which is here for the sake of wananchi… We are elected by wananch i to make sure that anything that is done by this Government is beneficial to this country. But all SRCs activities have negative effect on the economy, negative effect on the communities, negative effect on leadership and negative effect on everybody. With those few remarks, I stand to support. Thank you."
