    "content": "moving around with guns and money. You know how frightening guns can be. This means that he is a beneficiary of intimidation and bribery of voters; that is how he managed to get here. Sen. (Prof.) Malachy has said it and it is on record. Even as we try to establish where the irregularities were, I believe that this is a clear manifestation that the NASA team is clearly aware of what they did and how some of them got to this House. We have a country and duty as citizens of this country. As Senators who have taken oath of office, we must be bound by Article 3 of the Constitution. Parliament is an institution where Senators or Members of Parliament deliberate on issues that touch on their people and amicably get solutions to those problems. You have a duty to abide by what the law provides. The Senator tried to explain to us that he got here by default because they are on a boycott. I must encourage and tell him that he is on the right course, whether by default or design. He is here to undertake his constitutional role of representing the people of Turkana. This is where you can say what you agree and not agree with. I ask him to encourage his friends too. Parliament should not be managed by common raia who have lost elections out there through remote control. They should not take control of you like robots. That is why these chairs are empty. When an election is over and people have lost, they should admit that an election has been lost and prepare themselves for another election. Let me straightaway go to what I wanted to say. I may have taken a lot of time trying to address Sen. (Prof.) Malachy. The Senate has a duty to establish a working relation with the National Assembly. I would want to encourage those who have come from the National Assembly to bridge the gap, if there is any. We should make sure that the two Houses work very closely to make sure that the Government’s legislative agenda runs smoothly and with the speed that is required. In so doing, we will be facilitating the President by giving him the necessary laws to run or manage the affairs of this country. This is because I have no doubt that when the election is repeated Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta will be our President. We shall be exercising the oversight role over the Governors who are out there. As the Senate Majority Leader has said, we expect nothing else from the Governors in this country than the proper utilization or application of funds for the wellbeing of the people that we represent here. For the last four and a half years most of our people have gone without water or basic health facilities required in the hospitals. I am sure that with proper management of the counties, the problem of food security in this country can be solved. Agriculture is a devolved function and with proper arrangement by the governors to manage food production, we can assist the Government and end over-reliance on government for food security. 17th October, 2017 is at the corner and I want to make my statement clear. God has given us another opportunity to liberate this country, especially those people whose brains are at times carried by the others. We should get out on 17th October, 2017 and vote again. We should vote for President Uhuru Kenyatta and take Mzee wa kitendawilikule kwake nyumbani . When we take him there, we will have designated him to a place where I believe he belongs. That is when the people of those other parts of the country will actually have been liberated once and for all. Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir."
