    "content": "many other things for our people. Why is the President and the presidency not talking about the blotted political offices in this country? A small country like Kenya cannot have over 400 politicians at the national level. We cannot afford it. We cannot borrow to pay ourselves! In my county, there are 30 elected Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) but 18 of them are nominated. On what basis is this? Why are we spending our money wrongly? That is why I have never and will never support the one-third gender rule if it does not come along with downsizing of the political offices. I will not support it because I know that is not what Kenyans need. Many people here talk, but at tea places. They fear to face it. People need us to invest our monies differently. The Leader of the Majority Leader has talked about the police now having insurance. What he is not saying is that the insurance was Kshs1.7 billion, but the other bidder who had Kshs3.6 billion got it. That is one of the reasons Ouko is supposed to be an enemy of the State. That is what he is not telling us. It is a shame! That is Kshs2 billion stolen in broad daylight from Kenyans. It is okay, the police must have insurance because they do risky work but why steal using the name of the police? Ask anybody to tell you who the new vehicles, that is, Peugeot GKs that you see are leased from? Our police need equipment, but who is leasing them?"
