    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I cry for many. The country will need patriots who will speak truth to power. I was recently at a Parliamentary Group (PG) meeting where governors, Senators, and Members of the National Assembly (MPs) were present. They were having tea and feeling happy and saw nothing wrong in Kshs10 billion being held in Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF) because MPs and governors are fighting. During that PG meeting, why did they not agree to withdraw the matter from court, so that members of the public can start enjoying Kshs10 billion? As the leadership of this country, we are lying to wananchi. When we meet, we do not talk about the wananchi but our own issues. The collective mind of the nation must now wake up. We cannot go on like this. I mean, that is not why I came to Nairobi. If I want money, I can get it in Kakamega. In fact, I successfully settled all my marriages just by being in Kakamega. There is nothing special in Nairobi. We come to Nairobi for matters of governance and this is the crux of the matter. Sen. Chute, we are with you. I know the story of Marsabit and Turkana counties where children stop you on the road, not for money but they ask you for water. When you give a little boy of five years a bottle of water, the face lights up. We are living a lie!"
