    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the 2010 Constitution prohibited any President from putting their image on the money and that is why the last President on the money was President Moi. The other Presidents; Uhuru, Kibaki and Ruto, are not on our notes because the law had seen the self-promotion and symbolizing oneself, so that when you see some money, you will not think that it is the president giving you that money you have worked hard for. As the Constitution says, there are county governments notorious for branding with their portraits and their names. I have seen an ambulance with a photo or a portrait of a governor. You can imagine if there was a governor who has said shoot to kill and you are shot and then you enter an ambulance and you see his portrait as you are being taken to the hospital. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, or probably you have had an accident because the governor did not fix that road or because traffic marshals are not doing their work. When you are being taken to hospital as if an accident was not enough to torment you, inside the ambulance, you are seeing the governor. We should utilize Section Four of the County Governments Act that says every county should have a symbol. What is a symbol? There is a symbol, an emblem and a flag. The spirit of that section was so that every county should have an identity. If you walk in our corridors here, you will see every flag for every county. I wish every county could use their symbols on every government project or every ambulance. I thank my Governor, Kimani Wamatangi, because for the first time, Kiambu County can see the colours and the emblems that are there. The only problem is he is putting his image in those too. If he removes the image, we will praise him for doing what is supposed to be done. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we were told that there was a county, which I will not mention, which was branding school milk. When I was growing up, even today, I can still remember maziwa ya Nyayo because he was not giving us milk, but he was giving us his name. That is why it is still in my mind. I cannot remember the milk, but I can remember"
