    "content": "Parliament. This is the 12th Parliament. We make our budget. Because he was not in the 11th Parliament, he does not know what we went through under SRC. He comes from a very privileged background. If your father was a Commissioner of Police during Moi’s time, you do not need per diem. You are from a very rich background, but some of us our fathers were not even chiefs. The little resources we get from Parliament are what make us to come back. We go to our constituencies every week, but Charles Kilonzo can even fly. The sons and daughters of poor people should speak. The peasants should be allowed to speak. If your father was privileged, please, give us a break. We want a hustler nation to prosper. Finally, I want to thank Hon. Limo, because people do not know that he comes from the county where the nominee comes from. So, in talking, people did not understand. He had to convince his voters of the reasons. People should not harass Hon. Limo. He has tried, because politics is local, however bad your guy is. Everyone knows that. If he was not the chairman of the committee, he could have just kept quiet. But now that he is the Chairman, he has to move a Motion that will deny one of his constituents a job. Since he is a very competent Chairman, we agree with him. We have nothing against Ben Chumo. He happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. His name came to Parliament when he has an active case before a court of law. I am sure the moment he clears his name and the President gives him another opportunity, this House will approve his name. So, lawyers, please, go and help Chumo. But when you enter the Chamber, you are a Member of Parliament. Even the Speaker used to be a lawyer, but right now he does not defend law firms. Hon. Speaker, I beg to support the Committee."
