"content": "In the same breath, in the spirit of leading from the front, if we are to have budget-cuts in crucial dockets, then even us, as Members of Parliament, should have budget-cuts in our salaries. That is a stand that I take as a young Member so that we lead by example. Corruption is an issue because we cannot oversight funds that we are already managing. It contradicts itself. Legislation, oversight and representation is what this House is there for. Parliament has to deliver for Kenya so that we speak from the same breath. The Government of national unity is a welcome agenda in functioning systems. We have seen the system of winner-takes-it-all that has always existed. For the first time in the history of Kenya, we have somebody from Nyanza holding the docket of the National Treasury. That has not happened before. That is something I welcome because from where I sit, it will help even the presidential seat to rotate."
