    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we and I have kept saying in this Senate that it is not that we do not have the right laws in place. Even that Act we are now seeking to repeal has some substance and issues on non-discrimination, hate speech and fair treatment. What do we do as a country? I wind up by giving an example of what my Vice Chairperson gave yesterday when we were handling a matter on a taskforce. It was a taskforce that was going round collecting views on certain regulations. We told them how involving the task was. The first thing we noticed that made me feel very sad was that out of 12 members of that taskforce, only two were of a different ethnic background. When I asked why this was the case, they said the taskforce had come up because they are heads of departments and they were told to call heads of departments to form a taskforce. That means that the heads of departments of each of those departments were from one region. How on earth do we have an integrated Kenya and a cohesive system in this country if we can have such a set-up in this era?"
