    "content": "We need to realise that a higher percentage of Kenyans are still illiterate. I can give an example of my mother. She did not go to school, which means she cannot understand what we pass in this House. The laws we pass in this House are for the people. They are not for the elite people or leaders only but for all Kenyans, especially those who have not gone to school and cannot understand English. Translating them into Kiswahili will mean bringing everything closer to the people. As it is right now, there is a huge gap between the leadership and the people. Majority of Kenyans do not understand what we do here. We cannot keep on hiding these laws from them because they belong to the wananchi ."
