    "content": "This is why I encourage people to look very carefully at the people they send to the Houses of Parliament. This is because at the end of the day, if you have somebody with a law-making power who does not understand your business, it is very easy for that person to legislate you out of business. I am sure the Senator for Nakuru County understands exactly what I am saying. I have very serious concerns about the sort of country that we are trying to create. We are creating essentially a ‘nanny state’; a state where, we are considered children who need to be looked after every single hour of the day. What we eat and drink, where and how we sleep, who we go out with and how we party is regulated. I mean, we are becoming too much. We are regulating everything. At the end of the day, there is a reason there is an age of majority. If I want to go for Aluta, Sen. Karen Nyamu, I am a grown-up spending my own money. What business do you have as a legislator in my life? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is one of those other legislations. I speak as a person who has won money on numerous occasions on account of Arsenal losing. I also want to confirm that I have placed a bet on tonight’s game against Bayern Munich because I know Arsenal is going to lose. So, as a friend to the Members of this House, I encourage you to make a little money today because Arsenal is going to lose again."
