"content": "We have had presentation from quite a number of people. One of them did challenge the legality of a Member of Parliament tabling a Private Members’ Bill. In a lengthy letter written by the Federation of Kenya Employers, they opposed us tabling Private Members’ Bills that would better the lifes of flower farm workers in this country. I want to educate and tell them that they are behind news. They do not know that we are in a new era and we have a new Constitution. They have no idea what a Bill and law are. If they did, they would not bother to give me a 10-page letter educating me on how to make laws. I am here because I am a Member of Parliament. As I have said before, a Member of Parliament has three basic functions. The first function is to represent the people. I am representing the people and saying that tonight some people can only afford flour, a bit of salt and water. Period! They will not have any other meal and there will be no breakfast tomorrow. I am here representing the people and saying the truth as it is in the flower farms."
