    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My distinguished colleague from Nairobi County, who is my nephew, has a point that is only clever by half. He has a point, but we must appreciate that the Petitioners feel that it is only in this House where they can get justice. My colleagues who come from Northern Kenya like Sen. Halake, Sen. Dullo and Sen. Farhiya know that clannism makes it impossible for an individual from a particular clan to get any iota of justice in the county and that is why they come here. I know this for I have practiced law in the northern part of Kenya for a very long time. In as much as Sen. Sakaja is right when he says that we do not need to overload ourselves with issues that can be resolved at the counties, it is incumbent upon the office of the clerk to carry out an inquiry on the petitioners as they process the petitions. They should establish the reason as to why the petitioners have chosen to come to this House and not the county assembly. I believe that they have a purpose and reason for coming here. We do pride ourselves as the House of reference, justice, last resort, the House of the wise, and a House that will give hope and a future to this country and that is what we must remain to be."
