"content": "Wednesday. I will wait for Friday so that I arrest him, so that he sleeps in a cell from Friday, comes out on Monday, goes to court and he is given bail. Let us not misuse the police because today you are in power, tomorrow you are not. Somebody like Sen. Beth Mugo knows; she has been in both the Government and the Opposition. These things change; we say Vindu Vichenjanga . So, we should make laws assuming that it is your worst enemy who will be implementing those laws; because that might be the case. Do not make laws assuming that you will always be the one who will implement them because what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support the amendments brought here. I would wish to ask that we, as leaders, have a slight paradigm shift when it comes to issues of our own remuneration and how we address issues of the common Kenyan. Let us accord leaders respect from whichever political parties they may be from even if we do not agree with them politically because you must be led for you to lead and one day you might be the ones occupying those offices. Tomorrow, Sen. Ledama might be the Deputy President or Sen. Mugo; it could be anyone; it could be me. Let us lead a country of equity, where everybody feels that no matter where you are from or what your political persuasion or religion is, you are a Kenyan. Therefore, the Senate and National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya should legislate for Kenyans first and not for ourselves. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support and hope that Sen. Olekina will be kind enough to allow us to adjust the offensive clauses in this Bill."
