    "content": "Sometimes it is paradoxical. I have heard of cases where as our officials go to meet foreign dignitaries travelling to Kenya, when they get into the aircraft, they look into the Business Class cabin only to find a Minister from a developed country sitting somewhere in the Economy Class cabin. It is time we learned to be humble and realised that the much wastage that is going on in the country can be used for doing other things. We need to be bold. Hon. Speaker, to me, this is the beginning. We need to go a step further and look at how public officials in this country live. It pains me as a representative of poor people when I hear, for example, that a public official lives in a house which has been bought for Kshs300 million. With all due respect, these are people who do not even have little children as I do. They live in such houses alone. What is the rationale in someone living in a house on five acres of land? Will the sun stop rising from the East and setting in the West if you live in a flat somewhere? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
