County assemblies have not lasted more than five years and we have started talking about how the Constitution needs to be amended. Our biggest problem is not the current Constitution but our making from the beginning. Our children are growing up knowing that they should have money and the easiest way of making money is to commercialise politics like their fathers, sisters or a relative who did so. What do you expect to be the results of commercialization of politics? You expect a lot of theft where people take away public money in the open. When you say there is a court of law, but managed by whom? When you have money, you can buy justice. We should realize that we have misled this country and we must now change our attitude towards our fellow brothers and sisters and their welfare. We are lauding the new formula saying that it is the best. I can assure you that you do not need to go to Ghana or any other country to obtain this formula. We should have come up with our own formula. It is absurd to jump into an aircraft to go to Ghana or Israel to be shown how to divide money within your family. What a shame! We have people who are very learned in this country. In the whole of East and Central Africa, there is no other country which has better brains than Kenya. However, since the process of going to Ghana or Nigeria is a money-making process, everybody would want to go there. It is time we stopped deceiving ourselves and the people of our country that we are there for them. We should tell the people that we are here for ourselves and not for you. It is the high time we told the people that we are here for ourselves and not them. It is also time people started to understand that there is nothing criminal like using a fellow whom you know does not understand, but has given you all the power. Just because you think he does not understand, you just misuse him. When do you expect revolution and other things to take off? It is when people are completely “tight” and have no otherwise. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this country has wide ventilation space from the Senate to county assemblies. We have the National Assembly and the Cabinet where you can say whatever you want to say, and yet we cannot open up. Why do we not open up? Whom do we fear? If we want this Senate to move to Laikipia County or Kisumu County for that matter, who will stop it? That will be easier, provided that the person who will be involved in variation, transformation and transfer will get something in the end and things will be done. When you count the population of this country and even immigrants, what are you trying to tell us? This country has gone through tribal clashes and people have moved from one area to another. No one knows how they live, yet we pretend here that we are considering the landmass, population and whatever. When was this population data taken? Where are the boundary between Kenya and Somalia to determine the people 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"
