"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. My senior and elder, Sen. Orengo who I have admired since my childhood has elucidated very well the role that we are supposed to play as a Parliament. Look at Socrates when he was criticizing Plato in his Republic. He talks about the rule of law that is executed by the elite as the justice of a band of robbers. That is what we are seeing here in Kariobangi. The rule of law requires that you should execute and secure property and contracts. Whose property is this that is being secured during a global pandemic? Where is the security of the person that you fear not to be killed when you are walking in the streets of Nairobi? Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other day we heard Gov. Sonko saying that he did not know what he signed. I think I saw Sen. Sakaja there also. I am also surprised. In fact, when you are directing where this Statement should go, it should not to the Ad hoc Committee on COVID-19, because it will go back to Sen. Sakaja. By the end of the day, we must also---. You made your bed; sleep on it."
