"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to comment on this very important issue. First and foremost, it is clear that the so- called mortgage as has been perceived by many Kenyans is salaries in advance. It is not something extra for any Member of this House. Again, as Hon. Ichung’wah has said, it is impossible for this House even if it passes this legislation to benefit from it. It will go to the next House. This Bill has been brought so that we can tidy up the law, comply with the Constitution and fix issues relating to Parliament because right now they are not fixed to any law. The law is for posterity, and not for this House. It is for Kenyans and everyone is allowed to make amendments during the Third Reading. Finally, it is good for the country to know that the President of the Republic of Kenya is the one who signs any Bill into law. I am sure at that point he will be properly advised."
