"content": "Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. I will use the two and a half minutes effectively. Madam Temporary Speaker, you must have the capacity to do so. For example, my friend, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, mentioned something very interesting. He said that in his county, there are many mountains. Therefore, you cannot travel from point “A” to point “B” in a straight line. You will have to “break mountains” in the process which is a much more expensive exercise. You need a four-wheeled car to go round them because the terrain is also very rough. The roads are not that good either. You need to experience that to know how much resources we need in West Pokot County to improve infrastructure. In the meantime, you cannot use your personal vehicle to do public works. That is a form of corruption. In other words, the public would be getting from you what they should not be getting. The public should give you the instruments for serving it so that you do not sacrifice your own personal resources doing so. That is a form of exploitation that we should end. You could be tempting Senators, in that regard, to begin seeking favours from quarters that they should be oversighting. For example, you may have to go to a governor who may wish to allow you to use a public vehicle to do something. However, you should not do that because you are supposed to be oversighting that institution which may be giving you services.
