    "content": "Speaker but also our Deputy Speaker and the same with the office of the Chief Justice and his deputy. Hon. Speaker, I think I would also want to encourage that because we also honour our officers. When they travel we want to bestow on them the authority that they have as servants. The rest of us are servants of the country, and we can use Economy Class. Nonetheless, I would want to encourage Kenyans to recognise that. Just over the weekend I was travelling on Economy Class to Kisumu and I sat next to a member of the public. He asked me, “Mheshimiwa, why are you sitting with us here? Why do you not sit in Business Class?” I think Kenyans should also get out of this mind frame where they are not too sure about what they want us to do. For example, whether they want us to be servant-leaders or want us to lord over them. When we do not lord over them they complain and when we lord over them they complain too. So, let the public also decide. If they want us to be servants to the public then we will be. However, if they want us to lord then we will not be very happy participants to that arrangement. With those remarks, I want to congratulate hon. Jamleck Kamau and humbly move my amendment and ask hon. Dr. Nyikal to second."
