    "content": "I am asking Hon. Mwaura and not any other Member. He needs to give us full information for the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security to be guided. This is because there are people who must appear before this Committee as stakeholders with regard to this Petition. Hon. Mwaura is just conveying this Petition as a Member of Parliament. We expected him to tell us the people who have signed the Petition. I am sure the Chairman of the relevant Departmental Committee will see that. Secondly, there is the element of budget. If this House passes money for surgery – in this country we know how some people behave when it comes to money issues – some people will even want to do surgeries that do not conform to the demands of this Petition. They might even decide to change their sexuality from man to woman and vice-versa. Finally, I want to agree with Hon. Kamama that whatever we do, it should be within the confines of the Constitution. We should also remember that we believe in God. What is the position of faith in this matter? Let us not bring foreign matters to this august House. I can speak for where I come from because such incidences do not happen there. Hon. Mwaura should give us more clarifications and tell the House the number of such people in the country. We cannot just allocate money for surgeries for people that we do not even know. This could be another National Youth Service (NYS) scandal and money can be stolen. This Petition is like the one which was brought here last week when you were away. It was seeking the scrapping of a number of seats in this House. It was also calling for reduction of a number of constituencies. This is a very unique Petition. I beg to seek clarification on this issue."
