    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you are aware, the right to petition Parliament is now entrenched in our new Constitution which in Article 119 provides that every person has a right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority, including to enact, amend or repeal any legislation. Pursuant to Standing Order No.202, I, on behalf of the National Peace Policy Advocacy Network, the National Youth Sector Alliance, Picha Mtaani Initiative, Yes Kenya and Power 254 present this petition which is signed by more than 10,000 Kenyan citizens. The subject matter of the petition is calling for the adoption of the National Peace Building and Conflict Management Policy. It is worded as follows: “We, the undersigned citizens of Kenya who are members of the National Peace Policy Advocacy Network, National Youth Sector Alliance, Picha Mtaani Initiative, Yes Kenya and Power 254, draw the attention of the House to the following: That aware that peace policy is critical since the signing of the National Accord and Reconciliation Agreement in 2008; that whereas the Government has spearheaded the process of development of a peace policy since 2003, the adoption of the same policy has not seen the light of the day; whereas recognizing that sustainable peace in the country is critical for development and appreciating the fact that the adoption of the policy will guarantee Government commitment to finance and coordinate peace initiatives in one clear direction for impact, we, therefore, humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly facilitates with the immediate effect the adoption of the National Peace Building and Conflict Management Policy in order to realize sustainable peace in the country.”"
