"content": "It should be understood from the perspective that if we send our former Presidents and Prime Ministers and Deputy Presidents to go and represent us in Sudan--- I saw Hon. Raila smiling when he was in South Sudan because the Jubilee Government is treating him well. They should have done so by making sure this becomes law, so that it does not need a handshake to be designated and given trappings. My party leader has not been accorded the same privileges. I am not holding his brief now, but simply saying that we do not need to have handshakes to treat those people in those offices – Speakers and Attorney-Generals – well. I would hate to meet Prof. Githu Muigai on the streets looking rugged. It is not the way to treat an Attorney-General. The former Attorney-General, Charles Njonjo lives large. I believe at that time they were being taken care of. Without belabouring the point, I think this is the discussion that his country must have. In the case of a President, after two terms you go home. For the Deputy President – and I am speaking to Sen. Cherargei so that he knows – when you serve as Deputy President of Kenya for two terms, you cannot serve again. Therefore, you must prepare to win or lose. You can only become a President or go home. Therefore, this is important because anybody can win or lose. I am still waiting for a time when this country will have a lady as a Deputy President, so that even the women of this country can enjoy the trappings that are here. It is not only for men. Men in this country are very selfish. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker."
