    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to move this Bill. I beg to move that The County Resource Development Bill 2021 be read a second time. This is a Bill that has taken a very long time, since when I was elected to this House as a Senator. It is something I had in mind even before we started business in this House. I believe that if you want effective and efficient development, it is very important for us as a nation to think outside the box. If we are going to rely on only one source of income, the process of development will take a long time. We hope by God’s grace we get a good president, one who will concentrate on uniting this country into one. That was the intention of this country from day one. When we were fighting for independence, we fought against colonial rule so that we could put ourselves together as one nation and move the agenda of this country for the benefit of this country. If this election of 2022 gives us a president who will get rid of corruption and work on economic empowerment of this country, we will realize our second liberation which is the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 was our second liberation after the first liberation from the colonial government. Now we are at a point where we need to bring ourselves to the third liberation. Probably the last liberation for our people. This liberation is for economic empowerment and good governance. That is what we need as a country right now."
