    "content": "Thank you. Let me answer Sen. Kittony first. It is the Constitution that we are trying to amend for it to suit our situation and I am giving my thoughts. Sen. Njoroge said that people living with disabilities cannot win an election. I want to inform him that hon. Timothy Wanyonyi, Member of Parliament for Westlands won an election; the late Dr. Ellon Wameyo worn an election; Sen. Leshore worn an election; Sen. Hassan of Kamukunji worn an election as far as the youth are concerned. I now want to address Sen. Lesuuda, just take a bit of time and google the American Constitution. It says that you cannot enter the Senate unless you are 35 years and above. We want to align our Constitution with the best international practices. There is no point of trying to imagine that you can reinvent the wheel. This conversation that I am speaking to is going on in this country. Who said that a woman cannot win an election? None other than Speaker Ongoro has worn an election in some of the most competitive constituency in Nairobi; Kasarani Constituency. It is a lie, we are living a lie, we live in a moment of comfort, and we do not want to challenge ourselves so that we make our country better. Here you are stuck, you cannot even be paid your milage claim; people are getting their salaries late, it is not by chance. We have to manage the administration on the cost of running the country. You do not attack the disabled alone, I have attacked all the positions so that we manage this, and I want to be persuaded to move away from that thinking."
