    "content": "because whatever has happened at Bunge Tower was done by human beings. There are people who took decisions. There are people who authorized payments. There are people who authorized variations. We need to call people out. We need to answer the question of accountability. How accountable are those people who were supposed to make decisions? How accountable are they to us and this country? The money that has been used to build Bunge Tower is public money. If somebody can tell us to keep quiet about BungeTower, then that person should tell us to keep quiet about the expenditure of money in counties. Money has come from the same kitty; it is public money. Some money has gone to the counties and some other money has gone to construct BungeTower. If we cannot question Bunge Tower, then we cannot question what is happening in our counties. I want to conclude by saying this, and people must listen very carefully. I am aware that there are members of staff who are being threatened with being sacked. In fact, I am told some of them have been interdicted. What is their biggest crime? Their biggest crime is allowing media to access Bunge Tower. This Bunge Tower is not heaven. Even in heaven, Jesus Christ died for us and we have straight access. There can never be justification for firing a member of staff who allows media to get into Bunge Tower and show Kenyans how their Kshs9 billion has been used. As a House, we must defend these members of staff because if we do not, then these members of staff will not be able to do anything. They will live in fear. With those very remarks, I support."
