    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also take note that Sen. Mwaura is sharply and impeccably dressed today. I have heard what he has said and I am happy that he supports the course for justice. From the onset, I want to thank the Committee led by one of the corner stone or pillars of the Committee that I Chair, the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, that is Senator 017, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. I would also like to thank Sen. Sakaja, the “Super Senator”. I know that they were somewhere yesterday, where we were told that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., is the ‘great’ Senator and Sen. Sakaja is the ‘super’ Senator. I would also like to thank Sen. Olekina, Sen. Kasanga and Sen. (Prof.) Ekal, the professor of Chemistry. We want to thank them for standing with this House. One of the great minds of our times says that it does not need a million people to stand for the truth. It only needs one man who is convicted. Being the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, we will ensure that the recommendations are fully implemented, including the full stop. When I read this story, the Report of the Committee looks fictional. It is like a movie but it is shocking that Kenyans have been treated to a circus and drama that has plagued their lives. It is sad that corruption has eaten into our thinking, soul, imaginations, dreams and actions simply because when this tragedy occurred, someone had the audacity to give people Kshs35 million for them to sign an indemnity form for him not to be charged. Shame on him! It is very sad. Where I come from, Nandi County, you do not take blood money. It is like dancing on the graves of those people and their spirits and blood will haunt them forever. I thank God that I am in this Senate that will right the wrongs that these people have always endured as from 1980. I have read the laws that govern the use of water under the Water Act and it is very sad that Kenya’s Water Resources Management Authority (WARMA) slept on their job. I thought that the person that we should fear the most is an outright dictator as it happens in other countries. I am told that when some of the officers, including those from the County Government of Nakuru see Mr. “Mashur Pashakur Patel,” they shake in their boots. I suspect, will all due respect, that they even urinate on themselves."
