    "content": "that Maandamano is not such a bad thing. There is a Luhya saying that, it is only the children who cry that actually get fed by their mothers. If you do not cry, your mother assumes that you are okay. There is a very serious trend. Actually, I would like to share this experience with the House as the Secretary-General of ODM party. We have seen systematic reduction in allocation to political parties. For instance – and not to delve into the matter – every year, we have been frustrated as leaders of political parties by reduction on the allocation to Political Parties Fund. We have now been forced to go to court. Maybe even the Senate needs to now take this matter to the courts, so that the country can know that there is a problem here. I do not know how much success we will have there because I am aware that the Judiciary is also crying about their budgetary allocations not being released to them. However, somehow one arm of Government is not complaining. When Sen. Osotsi was talking about the Executive, he was not referring to a political party, but an arm of Government. Somehow, members of the Executive are living large. Just today, I saw a Cabinet Secretary wearing a Kshs4 million watch on his wrist. I wondered to myself how it is possible in this economy."
