    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, power is a terrible thing and it is also a beautiful thing. Those who exercise it enjoy it. Those who are oppressed by it really feel terrible. There is a very old man who never went to school and used to preach to us when we were in high school. He used to say that power is dangerous and it must be guarded like fire, because if it is not guarded, it can burn the whole world. That is what power is. It can also be enabling, empowering and bring wealth, industry and all those beautiful things that you want to see in Kenya. In Kenya, this power has been used like that fire that burns everything. This power is dangerous if it is in one hand; one man or one woman. Let us devolve it. I am glad that this Constitution has tried to deal with it. I said let us diffuse it. If we cannot devolve or diffuse it, let us rearrange it because the way it is, it is terrible. At that time, we were together."
