    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know I read somewhere and those were not my words that some of us are very good in grammar and we always put that grammar in use while we are debating. I would not be surprised that Sen. Wetangula who is a Member of my Committee has spoken good grammar. All he has said is that he confirms that certain environments, which by nature are endowed to work hard, work hard. We have what we call comparative advantage. I cannot compete with Sen. Wetangula when it comes to football but I can compete with him favorably when it comes to business. When we look at issues of comparative advantage, we need to respect the fact that certain regions are endowed in certain ways of doing things. With regard to that, I would want to respond as such. Moving forward, I am just requesting that as Senate, let us stand to our calling. Let us pass the Bill and agree that we will continue making the amendments. I was reading the other day that the American Constitution has been amended 27 times. We will not tire in amending as and when we deem it fit. This is a live document and it can be amended even in the next Parliament. People are talking about issues of record and this is a House of record. Time and again, I have heard ‘Team Kenya’ and other Members standing here to tell us that some people were arrested and it is on record and I heard it during those days. I want to put it on record that I wish we could put an inquiry of the Senate that some of them did ask to be arrested. Some of them did even send pin locations on where they can be collected. So, when people start talking about people being arrested and putting it on record here, they should be ashamed of themselves."
