    "content": "on one hand, I want to weep with Sen. Wetangula for we cannot rejoice when he is in such a situation. Politics is very interesting, and it has ups and downs. A few weeks ago, in this House, Sen. Wetangula mobilized the same Senators to defeat a Bill that I was moving. A few weeks down the line, the same votes that defeated that Bill are the same ones that have been used to oust him from the office of the Minority side. Politics is very fluid and we must always be alert. Like I said last week, I sympathize with the situation of Sen. Wetangula. I believe that it is a lesson for him and it is time for him and his colleagues to sit down, to re-evaluate their political direction in a manner that can lead him to the direction that he wants to go. Sen. Wetangula has emphasized in this House that he wants to be the President of Kenya. A vote of no confidence has been passed by two-thirds of the leadership of his side. That is a message that he needs to go back to the drawing board, re-plan, re- organize, look at the partners he is working with, look at the methods he is applying and look at the relationship he has with people so that his political career and presidential ambitions can be redirected to the right direction. The duality of Romans 12:15 is that it says that you weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice. I would like to also rejoice with Sen. Orengo. Sen. Orengo is one of three Senior Counsel we have in Parliament, all of whom are in this House. One of them is in today, that is Sen. Omogeni, and Sen. Wako is not in. I want to rejoice because that is the highest position any elected leader can hold in Parliament."
