    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I surely really do not understand, like all Members have said, why this particular amendment has come at this time. It is important for us to remember that there are always two sides to every contract. We cannot legislate one side because both sides are Kenyans. If you start saying that tenants cannot pay rent, the person they pay rent to is a Kenyan. Number two, you will find people who actually occupy both positions. You are a tenant in one position and a landlord in another. The whole idea of getting a contract that we legislate that allows people without defining even the circumstances under which you do not pay... As Hon. Otiende said, we have come up with a term called “COVID”. So, if I am a tenant an I tell my landlord COVID has made me not to be able to pay, there is nothing he can do. How do we even try to come up with a law like this? If we even passed, it we would be the laughing stock of the region. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman."
