    "content": "Senate, you will be heard. Sit down, communicate and send your Petitions to the Senate. We will deal with them and even before then, we will continue talking and presenting what you are saying. Mr. Speaker, Sir, these children are crying for jobs and seek to see that everything is being done in a proper manner. I want to speak to all of us through a scripture in the Bible, in Isaiah 1:18. It says, “Come now, let us reason together.” It is a time for Kenyans to come together and reason together. Mr. President, reason together with your people. We are here to work for the goodness of this country. We do not want bloodshed. We are demanding for those who have been arrested for demonstrating without violence, to be released with immediate effect. Those who have died should be assisted in burial because some of them come from very poor families. For example, Rex comes from a family of a single mother. He has no father and lives with his grandmother. The mother is suffering trying to see how she can bury her son. I am calling upon the President and all the organizations, even this Senate, to intervene and contribute, so that some of these people can be buried honourably like some of the Senators have said, especially those who were killed within the precincts of Parliament. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have nullified the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF), in the delegated legislation. We want to see statutes and laws that are favourable to the people of Kenya. If we do that, it will be well and our people will settle. They will be happy and we will live in a peaceful country. Kenya is a country where every other country runs to as refugees and they stay here peacefully. They are wondering when they see the country being run the way it is runs. I am calling each of one of us to reflect and even as we reflect, we should do the right thing for our people. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support."
