"content": "This Mr. Omusundi has identified a proper problem in this country. We want to be able to say that every single coin that is utilized by the national and county governments is actually our money. That is our property. I have seen these patrons disbursing bursary cheques and they want to greet the parents and look them in the eye and ask them, “who is the person who gave you this cheque?” Then they say, it is Sifuna. Then they say, “remember me in 2027.” You would think that that money is their money. One of the things I do not understand is that these Members of the National Assembly make the dishing out of cheques to appear like something that is so appointed. If your office wrote cheques, how difficult is it to distribute the cheques? It is a physical transaction. So, they come and make noise here and tell us all about how children will not go to school and that cheque has Kshs2,500 on it. There are people here who are educating children and they do not even announce it. They should come to our offices so that we tell them all those children that I have paid school fees for, even if you see a single one of them with a picture of Sifuna, you should ask me. They go there and they say, this is so-and-so who did it for me, but you do not see me presenting cheques here in Nairobi saying Sifuna is issuing bursaries today. That is not your money. Can you show us photos of you issuing your own money so that you leave this public money aside? The Majority Leader even wanted us to extend this thing to plaques. There was a young man who was going around this country called Morara, auditing national projects. The country is littered by plaques written this project was commissioned by William Ruto on this particular day. Those are the other plaques that we need to go for because that is not Ruto's money. He should also remove his name on those plaques. It is the truth. The Majority Leader told us we need to extend it to plaques. I can show you those plaques."
