"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for also giving me this opportunity to support this Motion by Sen. Kinyua. At times, seeing the former councillors in our villages, it really discourages us from deeply engaging into politics. These people are suffering. Most of them went into politics when they were young. Imagine that time when Sen. Kang’ata was a councillor. Suppose he had not become a Member of the National Assembly and now a Senator in this House? What could have happened to his child who is in Standard three? Some former councillors have children who are eight or ten years old. No one in the society is ready to support them. Two weeks ago, one of them came to my house to seek school fees for his children. When I asked him why he was not given the bursary, he told me that everybody knows he was a councillor. That is why they could not support him. They rejected his forms. Leadership is associated with wealth in this country. It is unfortunate when you are not wealthy and you are a leader. I hope this young man from Kericho is listening seriously to what I am saying. Whenever they call for fundraisings, nobody is ready to support them because they are reminded they were leaders."
