"content": "Some people have challenged those of us who were making noise about this process because they have not understood the noise we were making. We were saying that the Constitution requires that even when there are options in terms of procurement, whatever procurement method you decide to use, there has to be transparency. Those out there asking us what is the option to Adani, the Constitution already provides an option. The option after kicking out Adani is very simple. It is called transparency. I have also raised concerns about the way this Government communicates. If, for instance, you wanted to make it clear that it is a Government policy that going forward large infrastructure projects are going to be undertaken through PPPs, why not make it public, so that you can receive as many interests as possible and disclose when you receive these interests? Finally, because I can see the light is on here, the President concluded by saying that the state of the nation is resilient. I looked up synonyms for the word resilient. It means the ability to endure suffering without breaking or incurring permanent damage. So, he knows the truth that he has stretched Kenyans to the end, but we will not break because we are like the proverbial donkeys---"
