    "content": "The issues he brought before our Committee are fundamental. He was asking; a politician uses money, not from his pocket, paid by tax payers’ money to even travel, eat and to come and represent his people in Parliament. Our recommendation as a Committee is that, branding projects, vehicles or any institution is wrong and unethical. People and counties build toilets and they put pictures of MCAs. You will find toilets and billboards being erected with the names of MCAs, MPs or even governors. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I live in Karen and the road to Karen where I live is called Korongo road. Surprisingly, there is a billboard on the right side of the road just as you enter Korongo road, which is a rough road with the MCAs name which has been there for the last five or six years. You should see that road today. I brought a statement to this Committee because that road is impassable. It is absurd to see a MCA putting his name and photo, and that of the governor on that road and claiming that this road is being built by the Nairobi City County. This is misleading, wrong and unethical. In that Committee, displaying project name and photos and the date of completion and date of commencement are there. If you look at that Korongo road, commencement date has elapsed five years ago and the road is not constructed up to date. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, somebody was talking about Morara. I have been watching his programmes when he goes out there. There was a time the President was in Mombasa. He said this project started and it is ongoing. After a few days, I saw Morara standing in the same place claiming that this is what the President said and that there was nothing ongoing in regard to tat project. I know the President, he does not want to lie. He is trying his best to see how this country will move forward. He has got a vision. However, the problem is there are people who are misleading him.
