    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I come from a place where there are two entry points into Kenya and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) officials do very well there. I am talking about the Malaba and Busia border points. It is unfortunate that the employees, from senior officers to casual employees like sweepers, are people from outside that area. My constituents ask me; “Why should the KRA bring people from very far to do even small jobs that can be done by the locals?” I appeal to the KRA to, at least, have some corporate responsibility by ensuring that clerical and askaris jobs go to the people around the entry points of Malaba and Busia. The KRA collects a lot of money from the Busia and Malaba entry points, but the people who live there get nothing. I hope that one day the KRA will put up a school there. This is because the KRA officials are treated well at those points. The KRA officials go about their work without being attacked. So, the KRA should plough back some of its money so that the people who live around the border points can contribute to nation building."
