"content": "Thirty years ago when I was a young dashing doctor, I would go there, all the way from Mombasa, to see that site. It was beautiful. That tourism has been lost. They are counting loss of investments when the delta used to be a fertile delta. Booker Tate of Great Britain that created Mumias Sugar Company had actually prepared a paper. They wanted to move into the delta to create a mega sugar industry there. People of Tana River are counting those losses of their homes, lives and property. May I tell this House that it was President Benjamin Franklin of the United States of America who said- “Poverty is not to be ashamed of; it is shame for you to be ashamed of poverty.” Sen. Mungatana, you might have come from that poor place, but defend them. Be proud of that poverty so that you make it different when you will be our President, God willing, you address it properly. I wish you good luck. Wish me good luck as well. Thank you."
