    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me start by thanking all Members who have contributed to this Motion. I must clearly say today that I am a really proud Member of this House. The support that this Motion has had in this House is enormous. I think it is because hon. Members have clearly seen that if we come together and put up strong measures then we will be able to raise this country to other levels that have never been seen before. Indeed, I would like to welcome the amendments that have been brought by hon. Millie Odhiambo. They reflect the three arms of Government, that is the Judiciary, the Legislature and the Executive with respect to their leaderships and their deputies. I think that is quite in order. However, some other austerity measures need to be taken and I think that is what hon. Members have raised here. I will give one example. Some senior Government officers leave their offices in Government vehicles to the airport. Some other vehicles go all the way to either Kisumu or Mombasa to wait for them so that they can attend meetings there. They are supposed to come back in the afternoon to Nairobi. Some of these things do not make sense at all. These are issues that the House needs to look at and make the necessary corrections. With respect to implementation of this particular resolution, it is without doubt that this is a resolution of the House and it has to be respected and implemented by the Executive. Any person who does not implement this will definitely come before this House for action to be taken against them. However, above that, I must tell the House that I have come up with a Bill which I intend to table here so that we make it law. The Bill even prescribes fines such that whoever goes against this particular law faces the consequences. In the Bill we are talking about a journey of four hours and not really travel within the country. That will save the country even more money. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you and all the Members for their support. I beg to reply."
