"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will remind you, with the permission of the Chair, of a fact that you may not consider pleasant. We refused to pay taxes and all postponed the day we shall do it. The Government gets revenue to pay salaries or increase them from taxes. If we, as national leaders, have postponed the day we will pay full taxes like all other Kenyans, do we have the moral authority to tell the Government to pay teachers in one instalment? Search ourselves! We must curb our spending and tighten our belts. We are now laughing at the Kenyan team that has gone to the United States of America uninvited, to celebrate Obama's victory. What about us, as an institution?"
