"content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, I regret the fact that Sen. Murkomen came after I had said a few words. There was a time when we had a robust opposition in the National Assembly and the mileage claims were weaponized against us. In other arms of the Government, one could claim their mileage and nothing would happen to them. There was a circular that was issued that people should not get their mileage claims improperly. We thought that it was a general statement that was putting everybody on notice. Thereafter, a very strong lady in the House, Hon. Chelagat Mutai, was the first one to go. She was followed by Hon. Koigi wa Wamwere, me, Hon. Abuya Abuya and at the end of it all, ten of us had been called. I agree with you on that one. One should always think of themselves when bringing some of these laws in the House. They should think of what will happen when they buy a new car and someone sitting at Integrity House decides to look at their file. The question then will be; how can Sen. Farhiya buy a Mercedes Benz? When that problem starts, it will warrant a search. They will take the car away and it can seat at the Integrity House for 24 months as one tries to prove how they bought that car. When they go for the car at the Registry, they will find that the file has been taken away and they have no way of proving ownership. I support this Bill but the things that are being said on the Floor are very critical. It will take another six or seven months and we will see that if those provisions are not changed, they can affect me or you and so on and so forth."
