    "content": "We may want to dispose off so many parastatals now to deal with the current crisis without much regard to the benefits that the public gets from those resources now and into the future. I want to go on record as the Senator of Kitui County and a leader of this country. We have some parastatals in our region that have been earmarked for privatization. The Committee to which that Statement will be forwarded must have serious talk about the role of Parliament in the process of privatizing public institutions. We should not just accept to privatize today to deal with a problem that we are facing and then tomorrow when the same problem comes, we do not have a fallback position. Lastly, I again say this advisedly, governments will come. We have had governments before this one. There will be other governments later, but we have only one country called Kenya. Whatever we do, our decisions must not only begin and end with the aspirations of the Government of the day. We have a country to look into and take care off. I thank Sen. Kibwana for bringing this Statement so that we can have an honest and robust conversation. When the matter goes to the Committee, I hope that Senators will also find time to follow up the Statement and make their contributions. I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
