    "content": "On the issue concerning constitutionality of the Motion, I have noticed that my colleague has either deliberately or by default decided to understand what we are discussing as a limitation to a right. As a House, we have been mandated by the Constitution to make laws. We have to begin from somewhere. Looking at the Motion we are discussing, we are doing this because as a country we have a history of this right being misused. For example, the fact that Hon. Oluoch is picketing does not mean that I cannot move or go to the airport as Ngunjiri because he has gone to meet his party leader. His right does not take away my right. When discussing constitutionality, we should understand that this Constitution is for all of us and not for those who want to demonstrate. In any given time, the people demonstrating are a very small minority in the country."
