"content": "I want to thank my colleague for giving us interesting points which are basically about finances. However, the bottom line is that we are here to represent Kenya. As parliamentarians, we want to be seen in this august House to be representing the needs of the entire country. It is a fact that most of us do not know this country. When Members from certain regions make contributions in this House, we cannot appreciate exactly what it is that they are saying because we do not know the challenges, problems or opportunities there might be in those regions. In terms of financial implications, I am sure we can start at a low level, as has already been agreed up on. When we hold regional sessions, they are purely to address the issues of that particular region. I think it will not cost a lot, given the fact that we have all agreed that we can even hold those sessions under trees. The bottom line is that we want to understand our country and have tangible information when we pass legislation."
