    "content": "I will be dumb to comments being made by a colleague Senator about maembe because I do not know what that means. Whereas the principles of democracy are very clear that the majority will have their way, the minority must also have their say. I find myself in that minority within the minority for the reason that the letter that came to your office attests to an election of a new Senate Minority Leader. It lists the names of Senators who participated in the election and it goes on to list the names of those who were absent as three and six Senators who had their apologies registered. Unfortunately and for the record, I am not sure where my name lies. I do not know if it is among the six or the three because I was never invited to that election. I also want to say that it is not a secret that the Senator for Bungoma, Sen. Wetangula, has demonstrated leadership in and outside this House. I have no doubt about the abilities of Sen. Orengo to offer leadership. The only thing that I will hasten to say is that whatever happens in this House, whether on the majority or minority side; let it be in the best interest of this country, democracy and devolution. Lastly, I am reminded of a verse in Romans 13:1 which says that we all submit to authority and that the powers that be, are ordained by God. I rest my case."
