    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support the amendments. I would start by saying that I represent Kirinyaga County which has close to about 600 000 human beings. I also want to add that most of them are descendants of children and great grandchildren of the Mau Mau fighters. They sent me and said that I need to be clear and state that the fact that they have been keeping quite is not that they are cowards. They are just trying to follow the laid down procedures of trying to create a harmonious Kenya. They asked me to support the amendments. Indeed, eight groups from various interest groups in Kirinyaga County did present their views at the County Hall. They supported most of the proposed amendments. Like I said, where we come from we say: “Even those who do not die go visiting.” That is a direct translation of my language. I would like to say that the Chairman or anybody can be absent at the hour of need. So, it is important to give that provision and allow somebody else to deputise and to be able to announce the results, if such an eventuality occurs. Lastly, I was just wondering whether moving forward, we will continue to allow the fraudulent stealing of taxpayers’ money. Every time I see my righthand side, I normally see people come, log in and walk out in less than seconds. I believe it is high time we came up with a deterrent measure to ensure that we do not benefit illegally by taking taxpayers’ money without working for it. I support the amendment."
