    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I agree with you that, indeed, the debt waiver for sugarcane farmers was never sanctioned by the Executive. It was sanctioned by this House. Therefore, the Governor of Nyeri was also casting aspersions on our constitutional mandate as the House that approved that waiver. More importantly, as the Leader of the Minority Party says, all Kenyans are taxpayers. My own constituency is cosmopolitan, but the bulk of my constituents speak the Kikuyu language. Whether we pride ourselves as a community which perceives itself to be the most endowed with wealth or lie to ourselves that we are the most populous with one man, one wife. I know Hon. Junet and his community in Mandera have one man, four wives and a minimum of seven children while I have four children. We must bear in mind that as leaders, we are leading a nation of many communities. Whether we perceive them as taxpayers or not, they contribute to our national well-being."
