"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I support and congratulate the Leader of the Minority for leading us in this Motion. I want to start by saying that the award of 50 to 60 percent by the High Court of Kenya which was challenged by the Government in the Court of Appeal and the Court of Appeal agreed with the High Court, which was again challenged by the Government in the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court agreed with the High Court. The President has set a precedent by challenging that decision of the Supreme Court. This will go down in history as the most dangerous President. I wish to inform my brothers and sisters on the other side of this House to make time and inform the President that the Members of the National Assembly under which the responsibility to initiate a Motion of impeachment, are equally pissed off with what the Government is doing and therefore, he is preparing himself for a successful impeachment. We will not allow the children of the rich to be in school while the children of the poor who are in public schools remain at home. Today, as I woke up, I did not know what to tell my daughter, Inga Imbuyira Khalwale, who is in Form Three. She does not know why she is not in school because she is in a public school. We must oppose this. The Teachers Service Commission is led by a responsible woman in Kenya, the Secretary of the Commission, a responsible woman! We also have a responsible woman leading the Salaries and Remuneration Commission. The President is bringing shame to the women fraternity through this interference because it is being alleged that the three women have connived not to give teachers what they deserve. Madam Temporary Speaker, on the issue of where the money is - Mr. President, the money is there. According to the Auditor-General, Kshs67 billion was wasted. The President should cut on wastage in his Government contained in unnecessary foreign travels, unnecessary workshops and conferences in Five star hotels by the Jubilee Members of the Executive. There is money in the so called Laptop Project which we opposed three years ago and told them that they are going nowhere. It is now three years later, the money has never been spent. There is money, Leader of the Majority, you forgot what you reminded me of yesterday; that there is money in the so-called the International Euro Bond that was floated. We would like to know how much money was used in the Euro Bond and whether that money was banked in Kenya. If it is banked in Kenya, we would like that money to be utilized. We want Kenyans to know that these days there are shopping malls in about all the towns in our counties. When our wives, your children go for shopping in the mall,"
