"content": "I would like to congratulate the Minister. If there is a Minister who has allowed himself to be independent and advise His Excellency the President, and also submits that advice to the Prime Minister, and also the Vice-President who is also his party leader, it is hon. M. Kilonzo. If things have happened bad in this country, it is because of sycophancy. If things are happening badly in Ministries, it is because of the vested interest of Ministers, including ourselves; Assistant Ministers, because people want to preserve their jobs. They do not have the courage to tell the President or the Prime Minister that this is wrong. I have noted the consistency. In fact, let me say that I have been sweetly satisfied by hon. M. Kilonzoâs positions on issues to do with the implementation of the Constitution unlike many of his senior colleagues, including some of us, who are Assistant Ministers, wishing to all say things that will appease the appointing authority, because you fear that in the next reshuffle, you will be shoved aside. Therefore, I congratulate him for that courage. Put the courage forward because Kenyans are with you."
