    "content": "Having said that, whatever the outcome of the vote that is about to take place, it will neither be the victory nor the loss of any party. By the end of the day, Nyeri County’s image today is in pain. The image of our county is not good. Whatever the outcome, the members of the county assembly of Nyeri County have raised the bar as far as behaviour and the management of resources is concerned. I think that there is merit in the issues that have been said here regarding the management. Mr. Speaker, Sir, whenever a county is doing well, the credit for the wellness of that county goes to the governor of the county. It appears to me logically that whenever a county is not doing well, then the responsibility for not doing so well must also be borne by the governor of the county. Therefore, going forward, what we will need in Nyeri County is politics of humility. It is the realisation that in order for us to realise our greatness we must first realise our smallness. We must appreciate that the bigger version in this picture is the people of Nyeri County. Therefore, I urge that whatever happens in the next few minutes, let the governor and the members of the county assembly and in the chaotic situation where the Members of the National Assembly were involved, let us all realize - including myself - that humility is the way forward. We must bow our heads to God and the people of Nyeri appreciating that those are our employers. We must come down to them and get together and unite so that our people can do well, now and in the future. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on my part, I vow that I will work with all those parties that are wiling. Syria is at war but it is not at war because people are not trying to make them come together. Libya is also at war but she is not at war because nobody is trying to get them together. They are at war because the willingness to humble themselves in front of their people is not there. Therefore, I am calling for the political willingness and might for us to work together as the people and leadership so that we prosper as a nation. Finally, even though I have no authority because the Sang Bill which should have brought us together in this kind of circumstance, is pending in court---. The role of the Senator would have been properly defined in order for us to bring people together. I vow that nonetheless, I will work with all willing parties and I will do my best to try and bring our people together in Nyeri County because by the end of the day, it is those people that matter. I pray that may God be on our side. May God help this Senate make a proper decision. We will respect the decision as the people of Nyeri County. May God be with the members of our county assembly and may He help the Governor and indeed, yours truly, the Senator of Nyeri County."
