    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to support this Motion. However, I would like to highlight the fact that this country is poor. Our country is so poor that many children below the age of five years die. This is because they lack milk, medical care and so on. This is an indicator of a country that is so poor. When for every 1,000 children born 120 of them die before attaining the age of five years, that is a bad indicator for a nation like Kenya. Our country, therefore, falls under those countries that are impoverished, or countries that have never developed since independence. I want you to see a country that is divided into two – A tale of two cities kind of thing. In Kenya we have very rich people on one hand and on the other we have very poor people. Riches are measured by how we treat ourselves. A person who is a senior member of the civil service will travel First Class. There are so many senior officers and many of them travel Business Class. So much money is wasted. Our planes have very comfortable seats that one can easily travel Economy Class. The senior members should learn to travel using Economy Class because they are just as good as Business Class. I think Business Class should be left to tourists or persons travelling for their own personal business. As long as you are an employed member or you are a Member of Parliament or a State officer, I think Economy Class is comfortable and nobody should complain.
