    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the onset, I wish to support this Motion. Like Sen. Mwakulegwa said, it is unfortunate that a serious issue can be subjected to the kind of egotism that some of us have displayed. On a national matter of critical importance to our counties, one would imagine that you would humble yourself to the people who have brought us here and employed us. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in addition, you would imagine that people of national stature or who claim to have national status in terms of leadership would have the humility to say to themselves, “never mind what else might have happened, this is such a critical issue. We must pass this Motion.” However, going by the rumours, some people have even gone further and advised others not to come to the House today to pass a Bill that is so critical to their counties. To say that my county should not be paid or the employees of my county should not be paid as a result of my ego, is a situation where one believes that the hat he or she is wearing is more important than the head it is being worn on. Therefore, I beg my colleagues if they are listening, to shed away this feeling of great importance, come to the House and we deal with this matter that is of critical importance to the employees of the counties and the wellbeing of Kenyans.
