    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that some people are saying: “This is it; we have got the Government in a corner.” In fact, I have been saying that we had these street demonstrations at the wrong time; this is probably the time. People are demonstrating in Lebanon and in Chile on similar issues. This could probably be the wrong time, but our worldview is different. Some people want to have a cadaver, but we want to save the baby, like King Solomon. I am surprised. My friend, Sen. Cheruiyot, I respect you. I listen when you talk, and I never make any noise. You are always so full of solutions. I must say that all the Senators on the opposite side, and, of course, Sen. Murkomen, knows that when I hit him, I do so for a good reason. However, he is always full of solutions. If you look at the law regarding devolution, part of the solution on how we should create theses entities and how they should behave exists, thanks to Sen. Murkomen. Sometimes even Sen. Sakaja comes up with things which make sense, but just opposing-- - I have lived in this Parliament with people who opposed, such as the late hon. Anyona. If it was about opposing, nobody could be as good as hon. Anyona or hon. Seroney. People have done these things before, but how has this country treated them? Heroes! Is that good enough? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there was General Patton in the United States of America (USA) who used to say that you are not paid to save your country by dying for your country; you make the other person die for his country. However, here you want to kill your country. We must save Kenya. We cannot have Kenya crashing. Kenya is the hub and a strong economy, even with our problems. We are the strongest economy in the region and we must be proud of that."
