    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there is nothing new which is being done. Ministers are already receiving their ministerial allowances. They have been receiving it for the last four or five years. Assistant Ministers have also been receiving their Ministerial allowances. Even members of the Parliamentary Service Commission have been receiving these allowances. We must remove the embarrassment we have caused the Parliamentary Service Commissioners. They have been taken to court because Parliament did not do its job of rectifying and legalising this. As I speak, hon. David Musila, Dr. Ali, J.J. Kamotho, Norman Nyagah, Daniel Khamasi, Sambu, Samuel and Samuel Poghisio have been taken to court because they were doing their job; the job that this Parliament gave them. This has been embarrassing. Half of them lost their seats. They are being threatened with their houses being auctioned on the basis that they received some allowances which Parliament never legalised."
