    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I wish to reiterate the same sentiments made by the Senator of Nairobi County, Sen. Sakaja. I am also a victim of the same scenario. We do not want to be seen by Kenyans, especially people from Nairobi or Machakos, as people who are attacking our predecessors. That is not the issue. I am not attacking Sen. Muthama. When we received the letter from KRA demanding for Kshs2.3 million from the previous office holders, I used diplomacy. I used my good officers, particularly my Personal Assistant (PA), who deals with finance, Mr. Isaac Muendo, who went and saw the former Senator of Machakos County. I understand that the former Senator did summon his PA, a Mr. Mutinda, and it came out clearly that the said Senator was not aware of what had transpired. I do understand that he was told to repay that money to KRA. Other than that, I went and saw a certain lady, I cannot remember her name but she is on 9th Floor of Protection House, and she did well. She wrote a letter to both KRA and the office of the former Senator, Sen. Muthama, requesting them to harmonise the issues and find a way forward. The only problem with KRA is that they want to stop monies going towards my personnel. When they do that, we may be compelled to go to court to stop them from effecting that order. When Sen. Sakaja and I bring this matter before the Floor, just know that it is a serious matter. Sen. M. Kajwang‟, the Senator of Homa Bay County, should seriously, and I know that he is a serious person, look into this issue before we get affected."
