    "content": "issues; we are unable to propose amendments, but we know it when our pockets feel the pinch. So, amendments will only come from the Committee. The Committee should withdraw this Bill, clean it and give us a Bill which will take only five minutes to debate and we pass it. I want to speak on this Bill as a Member for Ruaraka. I have heard the Leader of Majority Party speak as a Member for Garissa Town, but in Ruaraka, I represent Mathare and Korogocho and we do not have camel milk there. There is no way you will process camel milk until you give me something. I depend on the pint of milk which is sold in the kiosk. I represent Korogocho in which we eat sifted maize, not by choice, but because we live in a city where sifted maize is in the kiosk. I am able to get it much easier than I can get maize and take it for grinding in the nearest posho mill. So, if the Leader of Majority Party thought that he was talking to middle class, my people of Mathare are not middle class. My Kariandundu people are not middle class. There are people in Dagoretti, men and women, who wake up at sinful hours of the night, and who have to work their back stiff to make rich people happy in their houses. I am talking about the watchmen who have to take care of those people as they sleep comfortably with their families at home. These are my people and I went before them and said that I would watch their cost of living. One gorogoro, the unit for measuring maize in Mathare where I come from, costs me Kshs90 to buy and grind."
