    "content": "Thank you. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for making that ruling. I will tell you how the gender of a Luhya boy is determined. It is determined during circumcision whether you are either a man or a woman or transgender. You are treated differently during circumcision. The people of this country might want to remember that somebody invented Mpesa. How come a Kenyan invented Mpesa, he earns no royalties, nobody cares to even just recognize him and this has become the “in” thing. In fact, I was talking to an economist who told me that, to him, 20 years from now, all money in the world is going to be mobile. Which politician would want his Kshs100, 000 to sit in a bank in Barclays and you have to go there, you have to write a cheque and you know all the stories? When it is in your mobile account, you can use it as and when you need it. These are the great brains that we have in this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the people of Busia County might want to be remembered for the boy who invented Boda Boda . Boda Boda was invented by a boy who realized that you could take soap – soap was only being manufactured in Kenya – to Busia Uganda and come back with beans. This was treated as contraband in those bad days the economy of Uganda was not doing very well. It then got on and on, and I remember in 2003 when I congratulated the Boda Boda invention, Members of Parliament from certain parts of this country mocked and laughed at me; look at you people, you are so poor that you transport people on bicycles. How nice it is that today,"
