    "content": "and campaign peacefully. I am sure on 26th October our President shall win with a landslide and there is no doubt about that. For my colleagues in NASA it is very unfortunate, that for the last one and a half months since Parliament was opened they have only been coming, making technical appearances and living the Jubilee Members of Parliament (MPs) to debate. That does not only cost the people they represent but it is a waste of the resources of this country because they are paid. They usually come and append their signature so that they are not struck out of the list and disappear. So, my humble request is that when we reconvene on 7th November they will take their legislative role seriously and come to the House. What we have been experiencing in terms of picketing and demonstrations has been very unfortunate. Yesterday, I was caught up when coming to this House and by the grace of God I was with my body guard. I can imagine what those of us who do not enjoy the benefits I enjoyed go through. I want to commend the Cabinet Secretary (CS) Internal Security and Coordination of national Government for the measures he has taken to ensure that the Central Business District (CBD) of cities are protected. I think that was a right move. I know the Constitution allows for freedom of picketing however, it should not infringe on the freedom of other Kenyans. As I conclude my contribution, I want to urge the Government to continue supporting us especially at this time when we are anticipating rains. The County of Isiolo has a large number of street families and it is my prayer that the Government will be kind enough to find accommodation for them. Thank you. I support."
