    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the import of this is the dignity of those offices is actually fortified by the type of cars that are driven there. Does that, therefore, mean that the dignity of leaders is measured by the type or size of cars they drive? We are sending a message out there, that one’s dignity or lack of it, even amongst Kenyans will be dependent on the type of cars they drive. This is from a Government that is pushing an austerity agenda. Does it, therefore, mean that they can use a Volkswagen or whatever other vehicles? It is important for us to keep the dignity of this House. You are actually the custodian of that particular dignity and I beg that you give us direction on this. That is because that message has been inadvertently sent. If this is the intention of this Government, then I think it is also better for it to come out clearly that we should actually peg our dignity on the sizes of the cars that we drive."
