    "content": "Secondly, while I was at a telecommunications company, we once paid for senior people in the company to travel to Beijing and they flew First Class on British Airways from Nairobi to the UK and then to Beijing. We paid Kshs1 million each for four of them. In that, we said that the British Airways did not need to charge anybody any money for the whole month because they had made sufficient profit. How could four people pay Ksh4 million for a return flight to Beijing? That was wasteful spending and we cannot afford it. You can probably pay Kshs400,000 to Beijing and we can invest the Kshs700,000 in our roads, which are in dilapidated state. I am sure that is still happening up to today. I was shocked and I went back to the Board and said that we were not going to pay for anybody to travel First Class. That was not going to happen because it was wasteful; we were not using money in an effective, efficient and economical manner."
