    "content": "know where to take that money. They have bought so many things such as the choppers and are going around the country with so much money. I would like to recite what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale said that they are the sky team. They are all over. They can take a chopper from Nairobi to Thika which is a 20 minutes’ drive because money is there. I am very sure this money belongs to Kenyans whom we saw the other day demonstrating in the streets. So, this anger has been building in this country for the last many years. I am happy that our young people woke up from those levels of sycophancy, hypocrisy and fallacy; that we are supposed to do exactly what the people sent us here to do. The Government overlooked quite a number of cancerous aspects in our nation such as corruption, tribalism and impunity. In Kenya today, you can do anything as far as you are politically-correct. You can even commit crimes like murder. We have seen some of us shooting people dead and go scot-free because we belong to this section of the Government. It is time we restore, install and make sure that we are all equal before the law. Some of those things is the reason why we are having our youth going to the streets and making some serious demonstrations. The budget is also made in favour of some people who are connected to the system. We have every right to thank our young generation for awakening us from the deep shame of hypocrisy, sycophancy and fallacy. I am happy that this Government found it necessary to halt the signing of the Finance Bill, which in the Kenyan understanding was not favourable to the voters. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to wind up by saying that the Senate has reclaimed its glory. I am very sure this is the trend we are supposed to embrace as a House. Possibly in the future, this is the hope of this country. Kenyans are looking upon us to give solutions and directions. I strongly support the Motion. I hope that the recommendations that we are going to make will not die, just like many other things that we have prosecuted and have never seen the light of the day. Therefore, I request the leadership of this House and the entire House to make sure that we implement what we agree. I am very sure, as a House and as the Senate, we are going to be the symbol of unity for this country. I support."
