When they come to a picketing corner, there is an office and people to receive it and you follow it through. Sometimes people do not even know what happens when it comes to this because we do things very quietly. That is why people are worried. They were saying Senators have just become clever overnight. No, we have been like this. It is only that they show Members of the National Assembly on Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) every day. We do not share equal platform. That is why we say anybody speaking here should be given 20 minutes if National Assembly is given 20 minutes. Otherwise, they just show the National Assembly and not what we do here. People have to go to YouTube . Madam Temporary Speaker, I would want to talk to the public service, especially the Cabinet Secretary, if he survives. It is good to advise if he still retains his position. Dubai has a ministry called the Ministry of Happiness with a Cabinet Secretary. People thought the Ministry of Happiness was to have somebody coming to your house to crack jokes and make you happy. That is why I am suggesting to the Cabinet Secretary, Moses Kuria: In your public service, create a department called Happiness Department. Why am I saying that? That is to check whether everybody is happy with the services they are getting through the public service. By the time you go to get your passport, before you leave that office, there must be somewhere you press to say I was served well or was not served well. This officer is very rude and so on. Then it goes directly to the Ministry. If you go to get your driving license, before you leave that office, you will be asked if you were served well. You click somewhere and it goes to the department and not to that office. That office would not even know. They will only know when the Principal Secretaries or the Cabinet Secretary will come to your office knocking, saying, my friend, so many people are complaining about your performanc, so we get rid of you. Madam Temporary Speaker, I have gone to Israel. At the gate of their Parliament, there is a very big screen that says who is in Parliament and who is not. So, when you get in there, you will know whether the person who you sent to Parliament to represent you is in or not. It is shown every day. This is so that we can be here and fight for our people. Sometimes we come in and go, we are seen in the village and trying to balance things. I want to tell Gen Z when you are done with the national Government; I believe so far so good because you have been listened to, go to the counties and join your Senator. Pick their hands. Why am I saying that? The governors there, are using the public money that was deducted from you through the previous Finance Bill. That money was taken and given to your counties. Kiambu has been given Kshs15 billion this financial year. Madam Temporary Speaker, what the governors are doing in those counties is giving your mothers and your fathers handouts. I am talking to Gen Z. They are giving your mother sweet potato vines to go plant, handouts; two chicken here, handouts; a fish there, handouts. Your fathers and mothers will think these governors are working.
