    "content": "dining area. I am talking about Sen. (Prof.) Sam Ongeri — his son was my classmate. So, I told our Chairman that it is good that he raises this matter with the Speaker because it is important. We either use the small dining or County Hall to make sure that we protect the money of the people of Kenya. I have even seen the Select Committee of the Senate mandated to deal with the medical equipment using the small dining. So, Hon.
