    "content": "If the Senate is empowered, there are many things that it will streamline in this country. At this juncture, if the courageous Senator had been given the oversight funds, maybe he would have gone and employed the best lawyers like Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. to represent these people. That is what is required. Therefore, we look forward to that time. Before then, I call upon you to ask the committee that will look into this matter to see the inhumane issues and expedite the Petition. Secondly, let me also put it here that we are not here to scare away investors. We are here to work in a civilised manner with any investor who will come to Kenya, benefit the local people and also for him or her make whatever money he or she is making. However, it is deplorable and inhuman that one is making billions and cannot afford a paltry sum to keep the community in a way that they will feel that they have good neighbours. Therefore, let us call upon ourselves, including the other Legislature, to expedite laws and make the time for justice less. We are fighting corruption in this country. The public is getting fatigued when cases get into a merry-go-round and take so long. We need to come up with a legislative mechanism where once it is decided, it is done quickly. With those remarks, I support."
