    "content": "I am sure if some of us knew what we were getting ourselves into when we decided to join politics, we would not have come here. That is a fact.This is a very hazardous job. From the statistics that I was given, that is the rate of turnover, nearly 80 per cent or more will not come back. This shows that this is a very difficult job. The difficulty is not because somebody is not able to perform but other factors like the party and party patrons. I was once a serving Member of Parliament. I served in the Ninth Parliament; I lost in the Tenth Parliament, but I have come back. So, I have got the experience. This is a very stressful job. This means that after serving for five years here, the likelihood of somebody developing all the stress-related diseases like hypertension, diabetes and gout is very high. The irony is that after developing all those diseases when you are here serving Kenyans diligently, during your retirement that is after five years if you will be sent home, you will not be having a penny to maintain and take care of those diseases. That is a reality."
