    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, let me put it in the bigger picture. People who compete for elections must demonstrate to the youth and persons with disabilities that when they get into office, they will address their concerns. We may run away from it but the truth is that our elective positions are bloated. I have articulated all of them right from the number of constituencies touching on the number of MPs, reducing the number of governors, Senators and MCAs. Therefore the reduction is not targeting persons with disabilities; it is targeting a national problem. If these things will not work one day, a time will come when some of us will run for presidency. We will approach Kenyans, and say that if I am your president I would want do things in a better way. That is what leadership entails that you cannot lift a country to the next level if you keep on doing things the same way, done badly in the past."
