    "content": "carefully. What they are basically saying is that, let us be smart and outsmart Senate. That is what they are telling you here. They are telling you that, if we actually reject it, then this will go back to mediation and we are actually supporting Sonko. That is what you are telling me. If I was following legally as the lawyer for President Uhuru Kenyatta, I would rather go by rejecting what the Senate has sent, but going as the lawyer and the politician, I would rather support the Senate and support what everybody has done, which I do not agree with constitutionally that the President should use his veto power sparingly. As his advisor, I would now urge the President to use his veto power. This is the sparing moment that he needs to use because the governor has completely failed to exercise his functions. If you go round this city, slums are sprouting in the middle of suburbs. You are no longer safe. Rubbish is all over the place and then we are saying that we want to leave this again for another round of politics. Let us be serious. We can only deal with one problem at a time. We cannot deal with COVID-19 as a problem and Sonko as another problem or President Uhuru Kenyatta. I want to support the Senate. Exercise that veto power that I do not normally support you on. Thank you."
