    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when I first spoke on the main Motion, I anticipated an amendment like this. I thank the Mover of the amendment, because then, the Senate will be doing something on the basis of specific action to be taken and a clearer report on this issue. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was coming in when my brother, the Senator for Laikipia, was speaking and cannot have any doubt that he knows what he is talking about. This is because Sen. G.G Kariuki is a man of tremendous experience in the workings of the Government. As was suggested earlier by Sen.(Dr.) Khalwale, that the records of the deliberations of this particular Motion be made available to the county governments and assemblies, I think that the highlights of the speech by the Senator for Laikipia would be instructive and informative on how things should be done. I believe that Sen. G.G Kariuki understands more than anybody else what excesses and abuse of power means. This is because he is a victim of excesses and abuse of power. But by the grace of God, he survived and is here. One of the reasons I think people like Sen. G.G Kariuki have survived is that when public leaders--- Whether we like it or not, each one of us will eventually be audited. We will live by our sins or what we have done well in. I am saying this particularly because there are people in the generation of Sen. G.G Kariuki, who actually really suffered because their sins caught up with them. But I know that Sen. G.G Kariuki, even before Independence and during the first Government, went through a lot of good and hard times. I was an assistant secretary in Ministry of Lands when Sen. G.G Kariuki was an Assistant Minister for Lands. Therefore, you can see how far I have come with this gentleman, although there was a time when I thought that he was part of the problem. But with tremendous respect, he is everyday part of the solution and that is an improvement. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
