    "content": "Indeed, Mr. Michuki, whom I respect very much, is a person of very many years' experience and has very deep wisdom. I have been lucky to share some of that wisdom with him, and he informed me that sovereignty is like virginity: Once you lose it, it is gone! Those who are talking about passing this Bill as a way of retaining Kenya's sovereignty, should know that we lost it long ago. The moment we called in foreigners to intervene in the issues that we had, our sovereignty was gone. The moment we were struck by hunger and the first thing we did to celebrate Obama becoming President was to ask him for a loan to buy maize, we lost our sovereignty. When we cannot feed our country, we lose our sovereignty. The argument that by passing this Bill we are safeguarding our sovereignty is a lie. We lost it long ago."
