    "content": "Earlier, I had tabled on the Floor of this House a memorandum from the people of the proposed Mwingi Central where over 12,000 signatures were given in Kitui. Mr. Musila and myself were there and none of us stood to object to the people of Mwingi Central when they represented their memorandum. In fact, I would want to be challenged on the Floor of this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the same people who came to Parliament where they gave a memorandum of Mwingi Central people because they wanted Parliament to hear their cry, again the Committee did not capture their interest. We, as Members of Parliament, have been vested with authority by the people to present their interests. At no point did the people want us to superintend our interests against theirs. That is why I stand here on behalf of the people of Mwingi Central who are listening and are putting their cries to this august House because from here, it would be unfortunate for them to go to court when they had a lot of faith in this House that it will hear their cry. I want to propose and ask the House to support what the people of Mwingi Central are saying. I call on Dr. Bonny Khalwale to second."
