    "content": "away with the legislations that have entrenched the provincial administration. Today, we continue to have County Commissioners who are living like imperial kings. These guys are occupying palatial mansions and, indeed, palatial offices and yet our elected governors continue living in dingy hotels. I have a case of the Kisii County Governor who is living in a hotel and yet the County Commissioner is living in a very palatial home. This is very undesirable. I have a case of the Governor of Trans Nzoia who is living in his own home and he has to drive close to 100 kilometers to be in the office when we know that in Kitale Town, there is a palatial home that the County Commissioner continues to occupy. I will now come to the issue of laptops. It is very sad for us to see that we are being assured of laptops for Standard One children. Many of our children in this country are going to school bare footed. Many of them also go to school hungry. What is a laptop when our children are hungry and going to school without shoes? I expected to see a programme on how we can eradicate poverty in this country because these are fundamental issues that we need to deal with for this country to grow. Finally, I want to support my colleagues in saying that the Senate is, indeed, the Upper House and we must protect our rights. These are our inherent rights. We have won them through the Constitution and we want to ensure that through your support, this House will regain its status as it ought to be the Upper Chamber."
