"content": "Hon. Speaker, we are in a position of influence. If we allow ourselves to do business with the entities that we oversee, it would mean that no other Kenyan will ever get a contract or any job in this country unless they know somebody. We must wean ourselves off the mentality that you must know somebody to get employed. That, you must be connected to get a tender; and, that, you must bribe to be paid for any work that you have done anywhere. I urge those who will be appointed to sit in the mediation committee to be very firm. I have previously sat in mediation committee. The Senators can bully ordinary Members into accepting their way. In this instance, we should go to mediation with the irreducible minimum, which is the Bill that we passed in this House. If they come with any other story, we will expose and surrender them to the Gen-Zs to deal with them accordingly. With those remarks, I support the Motion as moved by the Leader of the Majority Party."
