"content": "mechanics were waiting in the wings. As you arrived and parked the car, when the bonnet was opened, and it was boiling---. I do not know the plugs--- There were no four wheel drive vehicles here, the best cars you would find were all rugged Peugeot 504s and so on. When we were elected for the first time we were earning Kshs18,000. That was our salary. It then rose to Kshs23,000 and then gradually, by the time we were done with the Seventh Parliament, it was Kshs74,000. Mileage from Bungoma was Kshs9,000 a month. That was my mileage reimbursement. On top of that, every day, every weekend, there were people moving with harambee cards. That is why we salute Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o for bringing the Bill we have gone through. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, devolution came to supplement this bad behaviour in public life. You have seen that everybody wants to conduct a harambee, but nobody wants to account for the money. This is dangerous for our country. Again, that is why I have talked about some of our young colleagues who came here recently. Every weekend, they donate Kshs2 million to Kshs3 million and yet we know their salaries. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
