    "content": "I think this is a very good clause. If I understand it well, it is saying we should not peddle influence. For example, Sen. Cherarkey may not have children, but there are leaders in this country who have children. What this clause is saying is that we do not want anybody to send gifts to the children of the President, the Deputy President, a Senator or a Member of the National Assembly. We want discipline. We do not want them to receive gifts, because they come to Harambees and say they were given a gift to bring to a Harambee. We want to bring that to a stop. So this one, let it stay. If you are a child of the President, Deputy President, Governor, Senator, Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), you should not receive any gifts. I am saying this so that even the children of the President take note that the Senate is passing a Bill that will prevent them from receiving gifts from anybody else on behalf or using the influence of the father or the mother. This one I am okay with it, but we start from the top. We start from the doorstep of the President, then come to the doorstep of the Deputy President, then go to the Governor, go to the Senator, go to the Women Representative, go to the Member of National Assembly, then we go to CEOs; everybody. Once this law is passed, let us all be now equal. No receiving gifts. I support."
