    "content": "for a bishop who wants to wed a new wife or other similar things. Conversations should take place amongst the leaders to the highest level. In South Korea, which is now a first world country, how many heads of state have been taken to jail, some of them even executed, but through a proper trial? I do not support what Sen. Kabaka was saying, that we should take people to Uhuru Park and execute them. If we go that way, the most innocent of people will be the first to be taken there. This is because you do not know who will be in power then and thus, you need a fair process. Even the last female President of South Korea who visited us here sometimes back, is now serving a jail term. In South Africa, neither the government nor Parliament but a political party was able to recall a president. In Kenya, I do not think one can imagine recalling a president; it is unheard of. In fact, we would ask ourselves if that is possible. Until and unless we talk truth to power and take this road to where it belongs, we will not succeed in the war against corruption. We will just talk in tongues day in, day out, and this demon will continue to be in our midst. The demon of corruption is not going to be removed by prayers; you will pray and pray.

So, if you have a hyena telling its cub not to eat meat, the cub would wonder what type of a hyena the parent hyena is. This is because the moment we tell people that we are going to punish corruption; we are not going to be believed by the public. Jesus told those Sadducees and the Pharisees that he, who has never sinned, to throw the first stone. Therefore, I am waiting for a conversation to take place in the inner sanctum of power in this country. I know that can take place. The person who came nearest to that was former President Kibaki. He would never want to be involved in a process where he The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
