Gitonga Mukunji","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to weigh in on this issue carefully. Almost everyone speaking on this issue is my senior in politics and in many things that we are doing. I need to bring the perspective of a newcomer to Kenyan politics. While I do not know how this country will be in a few years to come, I feel like we are changing the tune in a way that can mess with our democracy. I call upon our senior leaders to embrace speaking in the rooms and coming out to tell us clearly what is happening. I was also worried when I saw the Deputy President carrying his bag. I felt sad. Had I been there, I could have carried it on his behalf."}
