    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to proceed before I lose my line of thinking. Thank you, Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko, the honourable Senator for Migori County. The people of Kirinyaga, the young MCAs who also went to the universities that we went to, but they are inexperienced in a certain way, they would want to listen to Senators like you, who are not in this committee. They would really want to hear you talk the way you are talking when they will be standing there. It is a milestone for them. I want to repeat that nobody is saying that the governor is guilty. I would never want to persuade you to see it from that perspective. The point the people of Kirinyaga are asking is, please, do not make this place look like what it was in April 1989, where one person said, decency has been thrown out of the House. We want to stand by the words of the late of late Vice President of this Republic, Prof. George Saitoti, MP, where on 18th March, 2002, he stood up and said that, “There comes a time when the nation is bigger than an individual.” He went further and said, “There also comes a time when an individual will be called to make a personal decision.” I do not want to dwell on the issues that have been going on since this matter came into the Senate, but I can tell you, we are not fools, we did not come to Nairobi the other day, we know what has been happening. You can take that to the bank. I want to stand here - and history will absolve me. I want to tell the people of Kirinyaga, looking at this committee---"
