    "content": "The President also dwelt on the issue of unity of Kenyans. We have spent far too much time bickering, warring, and talking very unpleasant words against and to each other. We should develop a culture of peace, love and unity which is the language of our Constitution and forefathers. Peace and unity which is the language of our National Anthem reminds Kenyans that we should be able to put aside our individual differences and work together as Kenyans. That does not mean that we cannot disagree. We will definitely do so on the areas that we feel - that when it comes to matters of representation - we are not being fair to one area or the other. However, in the overall, it should be done within the ambit of peace, unity and tranquility. Let peace prevail in our land which is one of our assets. I should have mentioned during the Division of Revenue Bill that some of these resources that have gone to hospital equipment, Kshs9.6billion and also the Kshs5billion for free maternity, we really need to change the dynamics of how the money is being utilised within the county level. It is within the mandate of this Senate that as we apply ourselves, we should be in a position to deal with this matter more eloquently and without any problem. The issues of fraud and whistleblowers must be worrying the President. Sometimes, we casually treat our whistle blowers as if they are talking rubbish. It has now been anchored within the law. They are now protected, which is one way of managing our national and county affairs. It will help us to be more accountable, transparent and accessible either for answering or developing the policy framework. He quite clearly put that out for our consumption.
