    "content": "I, Tabitha Karanja, the Senator for Nakuru County, pray to God to give me wisdom to make the right decision for my people. I represent a county that is home for 42 tribes. Nakuru represents Kenya, meaning, I must make the right decision to ensure that there is peace in our county. I want my people of Nakuru County, who I represent, to trust that I will make the right decision for them. We all know the people who lead in the economic front of this country; the manufacturing sector, hotels, insurances and finance institutions. Fortunately, I come from the business world. All that the people driving this economy want is to ensure that there is stability in this country. They want stability that can guarantee a conducive environment for them to do business. The Deputy President’s or Governor’s position is one that we need to think about. If you look at the history, it is unlikely that a Deputy President will survive. We need to have the act of hiring and firing given to the same person that hires, rather than having them brought on the Floor of the Senate when they want to fire them. I wish we could go back to the Moi regime, where they used to be sacked and nothing changed. He would fire and hire another one the following morning. Fortunately, the political formation in this country has representation from different communities. I know we are all asking where we are, but when the boss says he does not want a person they hired such as a manager, it is very hard to save that person. Even if you save them, where are they going to work? They may even find offices locked. We need to make the right decision to ensure that this country moves, because all we are looking for is the stability of this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, standing on this Floor, if we do not save the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya, whom I come from one community with, I just pray that that position will be returned to the same community. I thank you."
