    "content": "It happened that the master who had forgiven him was walking round his land. He found the servant, whom he had just forgiven, holding the other by the neck and wanting to strangle him. The master wondered, “Are you not the same person I have just forgiven Kshs5,000 and you want to kill someone for only Kshs1,000? Since you are doing this, I will ask that you be locked in cells and until you pay me back Kshs5,000.” The servant who owed the other about Kshs1,000 was forgiven. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are many people on the other side of this House who “owe” this country, Kshs5,000. They owe this country more than the people they accuse. It is important to remind my colleagues seated on the opposite side that before they point fingers at those who owe this country Kshs1,000, Kshs5,000 is being asked from them. They have to account for Kshs5,000. This means that there is greater responsibility for things that you have done, seen and acted upon before. Therefore, it is very important to be magnanimous, careful in our place of work, and be careful about how we behave and the utterances we make because this nation has never forgotten the Kshs5,000 debt. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Bill concerns the establishment of the NDMA. It is a wonderful Bill. We must support it. I support the president of the pastoralist group, hon. Sen. Billow and his team, including you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I urge this House to note that when a brother is in problems that is the right time for us to surround them. This is because one day, when we reach the seat of judgement, we will be told that: “I was thirsty and you gave me water.” This will happen through the National Drought Management Authority Bill. They will say, “I was hungry and you gave me food. I was suffering and you paid me a visit.” We must show solidarity in this House with those who are suffering. We might think that we are in a better county with good resources and wonderful opportunities. However, we must side with those who are weak because a nation’s pride is seen by how they side with the weak. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
