    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I got my notes. I am not reading. I am only referring to the points, and I believe it is allowed to do that in this House. On the additional constituencies being created, I want to say that this House has been misled by Hon. Duale, who said that Kiambu County is going to get 13 extra constituencies. It is wrong to mislead the House. Kiambu County is getting only 6 extra constituencies. I also want to say that establishing additional constituencies is good. Thika Constituency has a bursary kitty of Kshs25 million with 10,000 applications. With those applications, I can give each student only about Kshs2,000. There are some constituencies which give bursaries ranging from Kshs50,000 to Kshs100,000 per student. So, where is fairness in this? The constituencies that have been given the least amounts of money are the ones which produce the biggest amounts of taxes. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a cow that has been producing milk but if we are not careful, one day it will produce water instead of milk. I am very excited because of the change that has been proposed to take effect in the National Assembly where the Members of the National Assembly can sit in the cabinet. I want to pick an example and say that for the longest time, this relationship between MPs and the Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) has gone to the lowest level. I will give you an example. Even when a CS is visiting my constituency in Thika, they make sure they do not inform me for whatever reason. I take offense with that! There is a CS who comes to my constituency and gives instructions not to have me know of his presence. He comes to a school that I have used Ksh 4.5 million to develop just to bring 30 desks worth Ksh60,000. It is a big shame! Even then, when they bring these desks, he comes with fuel guzzlers that are costing this Government Ksh 300,000."
