"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to congratulate Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki and tell him; well done. You have moved this Motion most ably, most efficiently and you have done justice to it. Wole Soyinka wrote a book called “ The Man Died ” and in that book he says: “A man dies if he keeps silent in the face of injustice and tyranny”. Injustice is being meted on this Senate. This Senate must stand up in a bipartisan manner as a protector and defender of devolution. Regardless of which part of the political divide we come from, the people of Kenya voted for this Constitution because of devolution. Others were just joy riders. Devolution was the key to people voting for this Constitution. This country has come a long way and I feel very happy to see you sitting there as our Speaker coming from where you come from because in the history of this country, people from your part of the country were just part of the statistics of this country, but now you can sit here and 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."
