    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, some of the people who the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has banned from running are being accused of misusing and abusing county resources. I appeal to politicians who have Government vehicles or are exposed to Government resources. They might find it convenient to use county or national resources but woe unto them. From 10th August--- Article 226(5) of the Constitution talks about personal liability. I also want to challenge my colleagues in leadership. Be careful even as you hold those offices and use vehicles that belong to the Parliament of Kenya. Do not use them in campaigns because you might use them conveniently now, but in future, you will be accountable. That is my appeal. I am not saying it in bad faith, but we must set an example as a House, that you can use your own resources without necessarily misusing and abusing state resources. I can see that the Deputy Speaker, the Senate Deputy Majority Whip and the Senate Majority Leader, who are part of the House leadership, are in concurrence with me. Everybody is in concurrence that we should not abuse and misuse public resources. I hope it goes to other Government officials, governors and people who hold executive offices in this Republic. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will think about this Motion because I do not know if money can be used to finish some of us politically yet we are busy. Nowadays you can pass a Bill or Motion that money should go to the counties but when you go to the village, you may find that they have hired hecklers to heckle you. So, I do not know, unless the Senate Majority Leader convinces me otherwise. I thank you."
