    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First of all, I congratulate you for following the Constitution to the letter. There is a need for every single petition however dubious or obvious it may seem, to be considered by this House. I am sure that this is a House of great men and women. Mine is to plead with the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs whom you have directed this matter to, to take hardly five to 10 minutes because even this petitioner is aware that parliamentarians’ time is time that is owned by the people of Kenya. So, when a petitioner comes up with a petition like this which is…I am looking for the right English terminology; I am afraid that I may be ruled out of order for using any other term. I urge ladies and gentlemen from that Committee to peruse it and take about three minutes so that this petitioner can feel that he was accorded time. It will also be equally important when they are giving their recommendations to the House, to indicate that they took three minutes to discard this Petition. The reason is simple so that other dubious petitions can stop being brought to this House either by that gentleman known as Mohamed Sheikh or maybe he is alias Mohamed Sheikh. Will the real Mohamed Sheikh please stand up in the real manner and not use the Constitution to try and gain some form of mileage?"
