    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, he is in this House because he is the representative of the people of Kitui County. They would all have been here, but the House is not enough. However, we need to reflect as a House. We need to check ourselves so that we also have independence of the House. We have the Judiciary, the Legislature and the Executive. It is high time that we ensured that we work as per the mandate that the Constitution gives us. We need to go back to those days of Hon. Lawrence Sifuna and Hon. Martin Shikuku. The people we are talking about died poor, but the problem that we now have as legislators is that everybody is looking for money. You want to be on the list of billionaires; I do not know why. I mean, our salaries should be enough. We are overpaid. If systems work properly, where we do not have to go for harambees every day, even that salary that we are paid should be cut by a half and we live on it. However, because systems are not working well. We have to pay school fees, funerals and all manner of things. Maybe that is why it is becoming very difficult for us to be independent. You want to go to this and that office and get a contract. You want to look correct. Even the Minority have joined the rest to look correct. I thank you."
