    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have simply pulled them from this for ease of reference. They are actually part of the documents and paginated. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the allegations that the Deputy Governor was trying to suggest in any way that people who do not come from Machakos or people who do not come from Kambaland should not take the lion’s share of the opportunities in Machakos, that is perfectly constitutional. That is what I see every Senator fight for in his county. So, if the poor Deputy Governor was observing Article 10 of the Constitution which in Article 10(2) provides as follows:- “There must be equal and social justice” If the people of Machakos County, for 50 years have not been enjoying access to opportunities, now it is up to the Governor and his deputy to ensure that they have access. This Deputy Governor by making that exposure, he was actually giving effect to Article 10(2)(a) which says that a public officer should have patriotism, sharing, devolution and the rule of law. If the Deputy Governor is so patriotic that he is a whistle-blower as is found in this evidence, I beg that at the end of this particular exercise, the House and the County Government of Machakos waits for the report of the County Public Accounts Committee on Machakos because we are working on the findings of the Auditor General. These issues raised by the Deputy Governor have actually been tabled in this House and passed over to our Committee for determination. If anything, this Deputy Governor should be equated to the character in the book called The Enemy of the People by Henrik 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."
