    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, even while on that, the Senator for Kakamega insinuated that there are Members of this House who donate a lot of money. I am aware that the Senator for Kakamega donates between Kshs3,000 to Kshs3,500 in funerals in his place. That is a lot of money. But I will not hold it against him because not a single Senator here manages public funds and therefore we cannot also legislate against the generosity of any Member of this House. Some of us who have read the Bible so well know that it says that the more you give the more you receive. It also says in Micah: “Test me and you will see if I will not bless you”. For those of us who are not willing to test God like me, we must not be punished for giving our personal resources or be discussed negatively for giving. Lastly, if you go to Israel, the difference between Lake Galilee and the Dead Sea is that the Dead Sea receives but does not give out water. You cannot drink the water of the Dead Sea. The Lake of Galilee receives from the River Jordan and has an exit to the Dead Sea. So, some of us have chosen to be River Galilee and, maybe, others have chosen to be the Dead Sea. So, why should it be an issue here? The only concern we have is that some of the Governors who are Members of the “sky team” which includes the Governor for Kakamega who has been flying from one county to another - we suspect they are using county funds in this business and that is why we are questioning."
