"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me proceed a little further. Our system is a representative system of legislation. Members of this House come from different constituencies. The reason we are elected is to come and represent our regions and articulate the issues that affect them. I do not expect to carry a whole Parliament to Gwasi, to appreciate the needs of the people of Gwasi. If Members want to be domestic tourists, they are paid salary and, therefore, let them move around the country and see its physical features. I strongly oppose the idea of asking Kenyans to finance hon. Members to go and tour Migingo Island. I think we have a salary and we can visit Migingo Island. The boat ride is very cheap. If you do not know where to get a boat, you can contact me. I can get you a boat at a very cheap rate and I know you can afford it. However, I will not support a situation where we will posture as going to Parliament, only to tour regions in this country."
