Samuel Chepkong’a","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise under Standing Order 83 to remind this House that the right to picket is enshrined in Article 37 of the Constitution. There is nothing wrong with people peacefully picketing outside Parliament. Their presence here is to invoke Article 95, which mandates Members of Parliament to resolve issues that are of concern to the people. When citizens bring petitions, we must receive them, process them through the relevant committees and ensure a resolution is achieved. This is not a matter for a talk show; it is a constitutional right for every Kenyan to picket peacefully. I met some of the protestors, and they even greeted me. I assured them that we are addressing their concerns. Furthermore, I am working on an amendment Bill that will soon be brought to this House to help resolve such issues more effectively. As Members of Parliament, our duty is to legislate and resolve issues that are of concern to the people, not merely observe protests and walk away. It is not a matter of talking but resolving issues."},{"id":1523098,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1523098/?format=json","text_counter":44,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.
