    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, one of the things that hurt me very much is that, despite the fact that the Government said nobody in Government should be driving a Mercedes Benz, people are still driving them. The then Minister for Finance is now our President. He started a very good thing but when you look at all the Cabinet Secretaries, not only here but at the county level, there are so many Mercedes Benzes being driven. So, it appears that the Minister for Finance of a particular Session like the Tenth Parliament is not valued in this Parliament. It is the same person who is the President now. We must say there must be austerity. It was also discussed and agreed that Government officers shall not travel business class for any travel that is less than two hours. You just have to board the flights to Mombasa and Kisumu. You will see junior civil servants and even commissioners sitting on two seats and for some of them, even taking their companions on business class. We sent Harambee Stars to Brazil. To do what? We lost our money to go and see how we lose."
