    "content": "Lastly, let me comment on this issue of term in office. You know the perception that will be built out there. It will be that Members of Parliament, having been elected on a shorter term on their own choice - and we say that choices have consequences - are seeking to extend their term. They will add a dimension – because they are people who do not respect our national leadership - that we are seeking to earn more pay. For purposes of clarity, let me tell the people of Kenya the following: The fact that the date of the elections could be before the date we were elected - in a manner that eats into our time - does not eat into our pay. The people of Kenya will still pay the Members of Parliament and MCAs for five years. However, that is not what we are debating here. Unfortunately, that money will be coming without service, but it is the doctrine of legitimate expectations. That money will come and anybody who wants to debate it with that thinking should get that out. Our money is already in the pocket. We are thinking of the good of the country."
