    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Third Reading, but I have just been reminded of an old man who used to live in the village where my mother was born. This old man never used to say anything during the day, he was most of the time speechless. He would wait until midnight when everybody was asleep and then go to a small hill and if you were sleeping in your brother’s house, he would say, “today, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is in Sen. Wetangula’s house”. He would tell people what happened in the village during the day and end up by saying that “you my village men, even if you are quiet, I know you have heard.” I am saying this to encourage Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale not to be discouraged. Some of the comments we make in this House, they get debated everywhere you go. Yesterday, I had an opportunity to be at some pub where people were debating what Sen. Kiraitu Murungi meant by violation of the Constitution in the context which he said it. Sen. Murkomen said that the referendum may come any time soon. This was also debated. I was sitting there quietly. So, the messages which are being debated by this Senate are not for nothing. So, we should not tire in saying what we are saying. Unlike Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, if you love a child and you want to punish him, do not deny him food. Since we love devolution so much, we are not going to deny the county governments any money. However, what is rightfully for the counties, we will fight for it until the end using whatever means lawful and constitutional to make sure that county governments work."
