    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like the young Senator, who has been using helicopters, to forgive me, but allow me to inform him that over 2,000 years ago, none other than Jesus Christ of Nazareth used a donkey and he is more remembered than all the moguls of the United States put together with those ones of Britain, who have used means beyond even the helicopter that we are talking about. But anyway, that was with a light touch. Madam Temporary Speaker, as the country watches us fight this particular issue of putting a ceiling, it should ask itself: “What is the money under Recurrent Expenditure spent on?” You will find Governors just living a life of opulence and privilege. Some of them have unashamedly even bought for themselves residences at the Coast worth over Kshs150 million. When I read the history of some of these Governors who are doing this, I am informed that these are children who enjoyed support because they came from challenged backgrounds and their school fees was being paid for by well-wishers. How people change because of politics! No wonder they say that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
