    "content": "only be rubberstamped by this House anyhow? We must rise to the occasion. As Sen. Orengo said, we must consistently continue to do the right thing. I am glad Sen. Wetangula told me the late Hon. Shikuku said what I have been saying. He was incarcerated in prison and came back limping. I thank him and all the Senators like Sen. Orengo, Sen. Wetangula and others who went before us and fought for the Independence of this country. They particularly fought for the independence of Parliament and separation of powers. I thank them for what they did so that people like us can enjoy the platform to say the truth without being intimidated and to fight for what is right for this country and for devolution without being intimidated. If that be the case, I am ready to do so. I thank my colleagues on the Jubilee Party side because they have given me unwavering support, amidst intimidation when we rise up to say the right things. We must protect devolution. As I do so, I want to give voice to what the Senators for Machakos and Bungoma counties said earlier; let us not abdicate our responsibility for national and for county governments, to steal money meant for health in the name of a pandemic. We know there will come a time we will name names. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we know people who made huge amounts of money and bought large tracts of land in Karen through the HIV/AIDS campaign."
