    "content": "industry, real estate or in the hotel business. The milk industry is now a monopoly despite the existence of this law. The prices of milk are nearly the same. How do new competitors enter the market? The prices of water across the country are nearly the same. The price of petroleum has been going down across the world. The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) is doing nothing about it. It is spiralling down there. This Authority is a serious body. This has become normal for us. We believe that the pool from which we should draw Kenyans to serve this country is that narrow. How can it be that there is no commissioner, CS, PS or a mere board member from Homa Bay County? It is just normal. If other Kenyans ought not to be in Kenya, the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) should give us leave. Do not take money from us if it cannot be used in our areas and our people cannot earn those salaries. If we will develop Kenya as a nation, I request and urge fellow Members to reject such a situation. We cannot have a situation in which once you have some people from the Rift Valley and some from Central Kenya, then you spice it with a Somali or a Muslim, the deal is done. It cannot be. You are dividing the country when we are fighting for national cohesion and integration. You are dividing the country when we are fighting for the unity of this nation. You are dividing the country and you are busy saying that it is hate speech. As I conclude, it is not hatred to say that there is something wrong. If we do not allow all Kenyans to have their mouths in the feeding trough equally and equitably, we will lose this nation possibly before the next election. I wish that it does not happen, but I pray that this Government will change tact. Let us forget this issue of saying that we are not in Government. We are in Government. All Kenyans are in Government. Hon. Duale is in the ruling party. I am in another party, but we are all in Government. Treat us all as members of this Government or let us have our nation if you do not want it. I oppose this Motion."
