    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Public Finance Management Bill, again, speaks to the same question. How are resources used? How are they divided between different places? How do we ensure that moving forward, no Kenyan ever feels that they are excluded? No Kenyan ever feels that they are less Kenyan than others? As we do so, as we look at these critical pieces of legislation, we must remember what the reason is that for over 20, 30 years, this country had been looking for fundamental reforms; and why this country had been looking for a new Constitution. I think that we are in a unique place in the history of this nation; a unique place to ensure that every single one of us moves forward, feeling and being truly Kenyan. No Kenyan ever in the future has to fear about: “Is he or she my tribesman? Is the person from my community occupying a seat of power? Are they the governor?” That has been the heart of our challenge! If we set up the proper mechanisms; if we set up the legislation correctly, we will be able to manage that transition so that Kenyans can now, perhaps for the first time, be able to move away from the question of ethnicity to the questions of those ideas that can help this country to move forward."
