    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to also contribute to this Motion. From the onset, I stand to support the bipartisan approach that has been adopted by the Majority side and the Minority side. I want to thank Sen. Cheruiyot who is our youthful leader from the Majority side and our elder Justice retired Stewart Madzayo, who under the leadership of Sen. Wambua, has brought us together to have a discourse as Kenyans. We thank you, our dear colleagues. Secondly, I want to pass my message of condolences to the mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters of the 34 Kenyans who lost their lives during these demonstrations. As a father and as a son to a mother, it is a painful thing to lose a son or a daughter, especially one who has given himself or herself to fight for a just cause to make this country better. These fallen heroes were motivated by one desire to improve the landscape of our governance. They wanted to make the lives of many of us better. There are many of us who have benefited from this very courageous Gen Z that has put the Government on toes by the demonstration. As a lawyer, I know that the right to picket, demonstrate and withdraw support from a Government is enshrined in our Constitution as long as it is peaceful and geared to passing a message to the Government of the day. We cannot fail to acknowledge that the Gen Zs have a right to picket and to demonstrate.
