    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I have a lot of respect for Sen. Sakaja. He asked me whether I was in order to continue misleading this House. There is a difference between marginalized poor and marginalized and poverty. The dictionary is clear. I am not saying that people who live in Narok are poor, but they are marginalized. They are capable of making a good living if the State, which they pay taxes to, and the Constitution, set money aside for them to have good roads and access to clean water. I do not have to change his mind, but the facts are stubborn. We are dillydallying. It is time for us to continue being progressive. We can only become progressive if we have a sunset clause and act towards making sure that whatever was passed as a sunset clause does not lapse when we do not actualize what the framers of the Constitution had in mind. Finally, I am happy with the work being done by the Committee on Delegated Legislation. They are making sure that all these regulations which will come to this House are scrutinized. Every policy that will come here will be scrutinized. Let us go and unlock this money. I beseech all the Senators, not only from the marginalized counties. The way we stood together and showed the country that we cared, we unlock these funds. This is because even if you live in Nairobi, your grandmother or mother lives in the rural area. You can access clean water, but your mother will not access it or a good road. Sometimes when you go to see your mother, she will give you potatoes, maize and green beans, among other produce. She will have to give you only when you visit her. However, she would like to send you her farm produce by road at any given time."
