    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker. First, I would like to thank the Senators for their contributions. I have been here for a while, but I have not heard such passionate speeches. I have listened to Sen. (Rev.) Waqo, Sen. Mugo, Sen. Cherargei, Sen. Cheruiyot, Sen. Halake, Sen. Olekina, Sen. Shiyonga and all the other Senators. The Bible says: “The truth shall set you free.” Unfortunately, the pain that you see in the contribution by Sen. (Rev.) Waqo does not leave; I wish it could go. Sometimes, I wish I did not see the pain that I saw in a pregnant Turkana lady who rescued children from mud and water. That trauma will not go and Solai Primary School will never be the same. So, the truth, in this case, will not set us free. My problem is that the Report is here and we have done what we needed to do. What is going to happen in future is something that I cannot tell. I wish somebody would listen to us. The Senators who have stated here clearly, that this is a country divided into two – the rich and the poor; the haves and the have-nots. This is the county of Karl Marx. If a son of a poor man in Kenya called “Ole somebody” was the owner of this dam, he would not be treated like a prince, like Mr. Perry Mansukh. Mr. Perry Mansukh has had the liberty to fly to India and he is going again. He is flying first class. He is going to fly, do his business and come back because nothing is going to happen to him. The first order to fly, he got it ex parte . Nobody thinks that this man is a criminal. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) had not recommended charges, we would have recommended for this man to be charged with The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
