    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I beg to support the Petition by that Kenyan citizen. That citizen is exercising his democratic rights and the right to petition Parliament. It is in both our Standing Orders and the Constitution. It is also the easiest and best way for Kenyans to appear before Parliament without coming here physically. Whereas the Public Petitions Committee may have its hands full, a Kenyan has spoken from a position of knowledge and authority. As we legislate in this House, we want as many Kenyans as possible to suggest to us the laws that have not been touched or areas of the profession that have gaps, and they feel the House must express itself. For that reason, despite having your hands full, the ball is squarely in the court of this House to discuss something about it. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
