    "content": "The task of any government should be to create an enabling environment. At any one time we are looking at how to invest that one shilling. That is the direction we should be at. Can you imagine if we had railway lines that were crisscrossing this entire country from north eastern to Kisumu and across on the other way from other counties and crisscrossing the country so that Kenyans can move the way they want? I should be able to wake up today and go to Turkana and not be worried about whether, should I get sick, will I be able to fly back to Nairobi or can I be evacuated? We should have hospitals everywhere. We should have schools everywhere for our children. The most important resource in this country is the people. Kenyans are the best resource of this country. We should not look at investing money towards where people are crowded, but rather we should look at spreading it across the country so that Kenyans can go anywhere they want, any time they want and so that they can make the most out of their talents and what they want. For this reason, I feel that, yes, we have started the conversation. I believe that starting the conversation is the right step because we are making baby steps towards moving in the right direction and having the right conversations that affect us now at this point and time. Let us not forget that. So, even as we go out to advise Kenyans on how we should move forward, let us not forget to look at what is good and what has made us move one step ahead. We should just keep this spirit of moving forward because a constitutional amendment like any other legislation is not static; it can be changed. Let us move forward together as one people. I support the BBI and I submit. Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker."
