    "content": " Thank you. I stand to support the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 2) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 68 of 2023), but with reservations. I have had reservations all my life in the House, about the mischief that ends up achieved through miscellaneous amendment. I cannot drop that position because I sincerely believe that some of the amendments proposed sometimes go to the depth of Acts to an extent that we need to treat them carefully. It provides for the amendment of several Acts: The Oaths and Statutory Declarations Act, the Advocates Act, the Notaries Public Act, the Civil Procedure Act and the Public Holidays Act. I want to mention to my colleagues that 10th October has always been nostalgically referred to as Moi Day. Those of us who went to school during maziwa ya nyayo, the Loyalty Pledge, and Tawala Kenya Tawala, look back with nostalgia. It is just because of our typical politics. We are in a hurry to erase the good things that Baba Moi used to give us. Members will remember how we would joyfully line up the roads in our rural areas with miniature flags cheering the motorcade of Baba Moi and he would rise from the sunroof of a wonderful Mercedes Benz and wave to us. That day, when we went to class the next day, we would get all the marks because we would feel energised."
