Let us do this and give Kenyans a Christmas gift. It is not going to be of any use for us to sit with our constituents at home without giving them a Christmas gift. The Christmas gift that this Parliament can give the people of Kenya – those who are suffering, who borrowed loans when the interest rate was at 12 per cent and are now paying at 24 per cent or higher--- If they hear that we will spend one more week in this House to give them that Christmas gift, they will be happy with us; those people will say “Truly we elected men and women who care and are concerned about our welfare”."}
