For the sake of a person operating a hardware in Ol Kalou or a mason who graduated from Kinangop Technical and Vocational College and they can get employment, it is for that reason that I support this Bill. All the 67 Members of the Senate live in decent houses and environments. It would be selfish of us to deny other Kenyans the same privilege we are enjoying. Some of us are enjoying good living conditions out of the sweat of the people of Kenya because we are paid from their taxes. If a certain percentage of my salary can ensure that another Kenyan will get good and decent housing like mine, then I will vote for this particular Bill. Therefore, I support."

"content": " Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank all colleagues who have taken time to speak to this Bill, either in support or opposing it. In their thoughts, we have bettered a good idea. I appreciate all those who have taken time to read through the Bill, have informed debate and spoken passionately about the reason they feel this is a good idea for Kenyans. I said earlier in my moving notes that while I have moved many Bills before, it gives me tremendous pleasure. This has been a great honour to move a Bill that I know will change the lives and history of our country for eternity. I am shocked that there are colleagues who are terribly misinformed about the provisions of this Bill. On the question of morality, many colleagues are asking why their money is being deducted to build houses for other people. Perhaps many of them were not in the House when I moved the Bill. I would like to remind you that the reason you sit in this House educated is because there is a Kenyan who was taxed to fund your education. If they had reasoned like you at that particular time and say they are educated and ask why their money is being deducted to pay for somebody’s education, you would not be in this House. Kenya is built on a culture of selflessness. We must discourage this selfish behaviour that is creeping into our country. People are beginning to preach or speak boldly about it that it is their money and ask what they can do about it. We are almost a quasi-socialist state because many times we rely on each other. It is the spirit of African Ubuntu. That is the word I was looking for. Every day we do"
