    "content": "Build the roads for us so that this power can easily be transported. We have no power in Wajir. I have been complaining here for the last three years. The people of Wajir are suffering every day because they are sending us power engines which are 30 years old. You have to repair them every time because they keep breaking down. People are suffering. They are losing their livelihoods. Freezers break down every day and there is no compensation; and yet they are charged excessively every day. How are people going to be transported to those far flung areas which are over 3,000 kilometres away and fuel prices are increased every other day? How do we survive in this country if this is the way we want to continue? Tumefinywa kupita kiasi. The leadership, including us here, we have to take the blame. It is said in my religion that if you feel something is bad and you can do something about it, you should stand up and say this will not happen. If you cannot do anything about it, you should talk about it and mention the wrongs which are there. You should say, this is wrong. I do not appreciate this. I do not agree with this. As the representative of the people of Wajir and Kenyans at large, I do not agree with this increment of fuel prices even if I can do nothing about it. I should say it so that people can hear it. The other issue is that we have a problem of leadership, especially on this side of the House. Our leadership has failed. There is nothing to hide; we will say it. Where is the Leader of Majority? Fail. Where is the Chief Whip? Fail? Deputy Majority Leader? Fail. Even my sister who is very active has run away right now. She was the only one who was here. All the others decided not to appear, so why should she be here? She has also left. This is a very sad thing. I do not think this is the way to go."
