    "content": "being a young man, to sit with my young family. They really miss me when I come to Parliament at 10.00 a.m., sitting in Committee meetings up to 1.00 p.m., and in the afternoon coming to the official session here. I miss time to sit with my family. The most important thing is that we have been given opportunity to go and stay with our electorate in the village and understand their problems. At this critical moment when the Metrological Department has warned us of El Nino, already three schools have been affected in my constituency. This will give me an opportunity to visit the schools, and if possible, organize some emergency funds through the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) to facilitate their re-construction. There is a lot that is going on in the village just like my colleague has said. There is confusion in the village that the Kenyan economy is scrambling like Greece. We need to sit with the wananchi and explain to them that the country is stable and there are only a few issues that can be sorted out by the Government to ensure we have a stable economy. We will also have opportunity to interact with members of the county assembly, and share ideas on how they can resolve issues in the assemblies, especially regarding pending bills which are really accumulating. For example, my neighbouring Vihiga County has accumulated a pending bill of Kshs2.8 million, while Bungoma County has accumulated a pending bill of Kshs2 billion. Future governors will have problems. We will sit with our local MCAs and share ideas on how to resolve some of these issues. Since time is not on our side, I wish to stop there and donate part of my remaining time to other Members."
