    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am particularly concerned that the service charges will introduce a class approach in accessing Government services, a stratification that is in stark contrast to the spirit of the Constitution of Kenya, which champions equal rights and equitable access to services for all citizens. I therefore, call upon this honourable House, through the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, in the spirit of prioritising the interests, rights and needs of Kenyan citizens whom we serve, to investigate these matters, to ensure that Huduma Centres as key advisory bureaus and service delivery centres for citizens, continue to be accessible to all Kenyans without discrimination on the basis of the individual's economic means. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee should in particular, and as a matter of urgency, investigate the factors prompting the introduction of charges to access Huduma Centres, looking into whether there are plans to divert whatever resources that have been available until now allocated to these Centres. Secondly, to assess the potential impact of the proposal made by the Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Performance and Delivery Management on the Kenyan citizenry, especially those residing in remote and marginalised areas."
