    "content": "As we go into the future, I will not be intimidated. We shall continue to ensure that we call for accountability and sobriety. I want to confirm to the nation that because of the reservations I have against the opening of the Bunge Tower offices, I will keep off to retain my sobriety and integrity. I assure the nation that I will not show up. When we asked questions, we were told you cannot question. If you question, you will appear before the Powers and Privileges Committee. I said before that there is one man called Uhuru Kenyatta, the former President. There was a powerful Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government during his term, who used to arrest and intimidate me every Friday. The price of the era of intimidation, blackmail and coercion has gone down in this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will be enjoying myself and discharging my duty because you will release us today. I can even come to Bomet County and enjoy the wonderful football match that you have prepared under the Wakili Sigei Football tournament somewhere in Silibwet Stadium or Bomet Green Stadium. I can start enjoying from Friday to the final day in support of what you are doing to empower the youth talents in Bomet County as their Senator. We have so many places we can go. No one should blackmail or intimidate us. Let Members be allowed to express their reservations. We understand there is need for office space, but that one does not give a ground to break the law. I thank my colleagues and request that pursuant to Standing Order No.66 (3) of the Senate Standing Orders, you defer the putting of the question on this Motion to a later date when we have good numbers to go for division. With those many remarks, allow me to rest my submission. Thank you, for the opportunity. I wish all of us a blessed and safe weekend. I ask Kenyans wherever they are to be careful on our roads and farms. As I am told there is going to be heavy rains during this weekend. Let them not cross a river during flash floods. I know there was an incident in Chemase, where I come from. Let us be careful in the City too as the flash floods continue. The young people going for Aluta or any other business in the City, as they do their TikTok movies and filters, let them ensure they are safe wherever they are. Let them not overdo it. The floods do not know you. Be careful."
