    "content": "In conclusion, I would like to say that the young people also have a chance. You saw the explosion of the Gen Z protests the other day. This is because they feel unrepresented. Most of the young people feel that they are not represented. However, I would like to challenge them to also run for these positions. You cannot be saying we are not represented when we have not tried. Some of us came here fairly young, but we dared to try. So, I challenge the young people, wherever they are, that it is not enough to just say we are not represented. Can you go out and register, become voters and run for those positions? All these political parties are willing to incorporate young people and people living with disability, minorities and the marginalised to run for these elective posts. Apart from making their voices being heard outside there, the young people have a chance to be elected. You need to sell your manifesto. In conclusion, the resolution we just made the other day is because of that Motion that we did contribute today, that most of the young people, at the moment, went into the Gen Z protest because they felt that they were not represented. I am sad that there are allegations of abductions and extra-judicial killings, and most of the victims are young people. Sen. Kajwang’ said, you can be born as an able person but get disabled. In the last Session, if you remember, when served with your father, the distinguished Sen. Haji Snr, I was temporarily disabled. I was only disabled in terms of my limbs, nothing else was disabled. However, I had a challenge. I realised that you can be disabled. You have heard even accidents happen. Anything can happen. Even Sen. Crystal Asige can tell her story. Everybody has an encounter. We know even people were maimed because of Gen Z protests. There are allegations of abductions and people being followed. Today, in the news, I saw that there is a young man who cannot afford to pay for surgery. I am disappointed that there are allegations that Safaricom Limited is sharing triangulation coordinates for the police and DCI to arrest Kenyans. That is infringing the right to privacy. I agree with you, that the Senate Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations should invite the Inspector-General of Police. Why would you share the location, Short Message Service (SMS) and the coordinates of where a Kenyan is? That is infringing the right to privacy. To do that, you must get a court order. What I saw in Th e Daily Nation Newspaper today is unfortunate. I have been a victim of data protection in the last one week. I have been called, received insults and praises. As we talk today, my phone has over 12,000 SMSs. I have close to 20,000"
