    "content": "Under your chairmanship, the issue of the mandate--- What is tickling people is the management of the Fund where almost 1,000 people eat per day at Kshs600. Do your own maths and you can see where the interest is. You can see that members of the Committee should have been consulted. They should have been asked: “In your own investigations as per your mandate, what have you found out because things have been found out?” So, I want to plead with the Mover of the Motion that before we go on with this debate, we stand down this Motion so that it does not lapse and we come back six months later. The Committee has been consulted. We sent our Chairperson to you and a couple of other members so that we can know what the issue is. It is your responsibility, as our father, to make sure that there is quality and no plunder and theft in Parliament. We beg you. I want to plead with Hon. A.B. Duale to be magnanimous because I knew those issues were not known. It is not even a controversial issue but the Senate cannot ask us to have equal numbers in a Committee where they are minimally contributing to manage a Member’s Fund. Money killed Jesus and it was only three pence! So, we have appointed you to manage our money and we are trying to get to the bottom of it. I ask you to withdraw it. Thank you."
