    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am grateful. I was worried that somebody would shoot up and challenge me for quoting social media. Social media cannot stand in this House. So, the confirmation from the distinguished Senator for Nandi County that there is unrest in Nandi County, must be taken seriously, even more so by Sen. Osotsi and I because our cousins come from that county. It is amazing that one of the voters in Nandi County gave me a copy of a payslip that showed a very close relative of the governor is drawing a salary of Kshs145,000 per month. I do not mind a governor’s relative working in the county. Our relatives can work in our offices. They are entitled to jobs in counties. However, when those relatives are over 60 years old, then it calls into question why they could be drawing a salary for not earning that money because they are not in employment. They are ghost workers. I call out our governors on bad manners of the cost of foreign travel. The bill of foreign travel in this country by governors is amazing. The most travelled governors is the Governor of Nairobi City County, the Governor of Kakamega County and the Governor of Nandi County. Shame on you. What are they doing? Imagine the Governor of Kakamega County spent Kshs418,640,000 to fly around. Gov. Sang spent Kshs310 million. Even if their friends are in here and are uncomfortable about this truth, we will call them out.
