    "content": "We would not have gotten here if he was more accessible. I can say that without fear for the benefit of the country, I am not saying it for myself, but for the country. I respect my son, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., but I urge him to be wise on this issue. Sen. Wetangula said something fantastic that we should have listened to, but we rubbished it. I was asked to call for another adjournment or ask Senators to disappear because they can see how the vote is coming. They can see it. The moment has come and when we want to count votes now, the chest thumping will stop because it is a count. I was with Sen. Haji this morning because I do respect him, and I wanted to find out the best way forward. This young man called Sen. Kang’ata was my student and he learnt his politics from me. He has said things that I do not agree with. He has annoyed me in the last one month. He came to me this morning and told me, ‘I am biting the bullet. I want a middle ground.’ For that, I respect him. Nobody would believe that he would take this position based on what he previously said. I support this amendment because nobody is losing in this amendment. I want those who are losing to stand up and show me where they are losing. No one is losing this year, next year or in the third year. Why are we messing up by misleading people? Nobody is losing and nobody should lose. I respect Sen. Sakaja. This morning, I went through simulations. These parameters are not mathematical absolutes. When we talk about parameter on health, it is not on the basis that it is a mathematical absolute. It is a variable. Therefore, Sen. Sakaja or somebody else can change their variable and end up with a different result. I want to convince the people from Coast and Mandera that I am with them and I am dying with them because they are losing no cent. Governor Mutua should know that nobody is as patriotic as Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka. Machakos County is not losing any money. I used to practice in Machakos County as a lawyer. Let us be brave today and pass the amendments by Sen. Kang’ata. He has annoyed me, but he has now come back to life. He is my true trainee. I support."
