    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, if there is one thing we should know is that we are stronger together. We did not know the talents of Sen. Sakaja until he started drafting formulas ya + yb, those things. The same applies to Sen. Farhiya and Sen. Wetangula. All this has been realized because we have used all our talents to get this thing together. There are several Senators who took a political risk. The political risk is this; that you are gaining but you are supporting losers. It is a political risk! Sen. Malalah and the Senator for Bomet are among them. The Governor of Machakos County went bonkers over Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka; we had to take him to a church to commit him there because he went bonkers on him. It is a political risk when you are gaining, to support losers. Some of our Members here who want to become governors were thinking “how am I going to divorce myself from a gain and become a governor?” Therefore, we must congratulate those Senators who took that sacrifice, political risk. Sen. Sakaja was arrested; there were many things that were happening to him. More importantly, Sen. Malalah said something about the contentious formula. He said to take away money from one county to give to another is ungodly. It reminded me of the verse in the Bible that says, and I wish Sen. Kibiru was here because I would have referred this to him to go and read- “Those who have more shall be given. Those who do not have, even the little they have, shall be taken away from them.” It sounded more like that. However, we want to tell the people of Kiambu and Nairobi that we love you more than you love us, because the people of Nairobi host the people of Makueni. The people of Makueni are possibly contributing to the second or third largest tribe outside Nairobi, and the same applies to Taita/Taveta. We must love this nation and love one another. The church which Sen. Sakaja and I belong to, the African Inland Church (AIC) is the church with the majority followers in Sen. Cherargei’s place. That is why I was telling him to turn to the Lord when he kept on talking about bushes and shrubs. I hope you have turned to the Lord and confessed your sins so that you are forgiven. Lastly let me say this, I am beginning to wonder because in the mediation committee, the CRA came with an even worse formula than the first one. They created 28 losers. In fact, the formula for Mr. Masinde and Ms. Amran is better than the one for the CRA and the National Treasury combined. The CAS, National Treasury sat here, you know some things in this country are like voodoo. He told us that they cannot guarantee even the Kshs316 billion. The President has given us 53 billion extra and we must thank"
