    "content": "I have been touched. In the last Parliament, I brought a Bill called the Order of Precedence. These are the elected representatives of the people of Kenya. When busy bodies demean our existence or purport to usurp our functions… I want to remind you two things. Luckily, some of us have been around. When we passed the current Constitution, the framers had a proper and seamless governance structure for the people of Kenya. However, some have decided to give themselves holier than though status. On 3rd March 2013, the then Chair of SRC purportedly issued a gazette notice demeaning the very office of the Member of Parliament. That is one day to the election. Again, on 17th September 2017, two weeks to the election, she purportedly issued another gazette notice demeaning Members of Parliament. That is where she said Members of Parliament want sitting allowance, social allowance, sleeping allowance, parking allowance et cetera . It is an insult. We will not allow it. There is something shocking that came to my attention just two days ago. This is something that you Members must stand and defend jealously because to be elected is a very difficult job. You all know it, is it not? Many people would have loved to be elected. I know they are outside there and we represent them."
