    "content": "(Migori (CWR), ODM): Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to applaud Hon. Duale. He always brings laughter to my heart in Bunge . I remember that time though I was not an MP and thank you for saving our party. Hon. Speaker, I am, at heart and in action, a woman and a leader against corruption of all forms. I want to join my colleagues in celebrating all whistleblowers. This particular case of the young man in Maasai Mara University is pertinent to my heart because that man sacrificed his own life to save the little resources that our Government, through the Ministry, sends to our universities. As a member of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research, I am so sad because actually we are watching slowly the death of our public universities due to poor funding. When that little funding goes into the hands of the very top notch of this society calling themselves professors - the ones who have the whole knowledge, the doyens and mentors of everybody - and it gets lost again, it is so painful. This young man, whatever the reason the council of this university is sacking him for, leaves a lot to be desired. I call upon this nation to change the attitude. This is because every time people talk about loss of money and corruption, they point their fingers to the MPs, the Executive of this country and the National Treasury. I am here to confess and ask Kenyans: What about the small offices where we are? Are we buying the biro pens in those offices at the rate of the retail market? Those are some of the reasons why we are ailing as Kenyans and suffering. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
