Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Petition. Similarly, just like in the case of the demolitions in Kisumu, the greatest violation of Kenyans rights is the unlawful eviction during a pandemic without notice.

injunction to stop ordinary Kenyans from being evicted. It is a contradiction in terms. I hope we can get to the bottom of it and save these people from being harassed. Senator Faki of Mombasa had requested - and I wanted to mention this – that he be part and parcel of these proceedings today. However, the proceeding today is not hybrid. Therefore, from Mombasa he can only watch us yet he wanted to participate. The Secretariat must check this because the voice of Sen. Faki should have been heard in this Petition. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.
