    "content": "to senior counsel when he was talking and wondered how much money he could have given Kenyans if he had sealed the Kshs2 billion. He would have ended up with Kshs730 billion to share among Kenyans. Tell me how much money you would give to the poor. You would give everyone over Kshs100,000 and we would start a new nation within a year by sealing the loophole. An amount of Kshs2 billion daily is Kshs730 billion a year. This is half the total collections of this country because we collect Kshs1.7 trillion. Therefore, I support you senior counsel when he talk about these things, especially sealing corruption. Corruption is the greatest enemy of this country. It is the single most threatening thing to the lives of Kenyans today and it will remain so until it is sorted out and the criminals are properly punished. Sen. Omogeni, you are a senior counsel. How come to this day we do not have a single Cabinet Secretary, Governor, Senator, Member of Parliament or Principal Secretary who is in Kamiti Prison for stealing money for drugs? They should be in Kamiti Prison dressed in a kanga . They only thing we would recommend because we are human is that they be given enough ugali. That is the Kenya we want. I have heard your sentiments and I am with you, that we must be serious from now on. Madam Temporary Speaker, this Bill is about changing the name. I stand to be corrected, but I want you to rule in your judgement - because it appears there may not be enough Members to pass the Bill - that there should be clear documentation to show that the Bill was passed. It is only waiting for the numbers. I believe even in social media we could having many people supporting it. Therefore, I leave it to you, but if you desire it can be deferred to a day when there is enough quorum for the Division."
