    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. From the outset, I once again, want to thank and congratulate both the Committee and the House. The Committee did what it was charged to do by this House and made the recommendations it was supposed to make. The House has made a decision and clearly they have made a decision that was contrary to that of the Committee, but the Committee must clearly, as other Senators, whether they voted “Yes” or “No”, respect the decision of the House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in a night of political long knives like tonight, we will experience many aspects of politics. We will see the politics of unity as we have witnessed here. We will also see the politics of purpose, even the politics of betrayal as Joe Khamisi once said, come to bear. It is the nature of the animal which we deal with. Mr. Speaker, Sir, at this moment, I want to congratulate the Deputy Governor of Machakos County and to tell him that the decision of the House, as Sen. (Dr.) Machage said, has saved him. Paramount should be the unity of Machakos County. In that regard, I seek the intervention of both the Senator of Machakos County as well as those from the neighbourhood who are well meaning to work at ensuring that the Governor and the Deputy Governor should start working together."
