"content": "I know that many people think that Members of Parliament do not deserve anything good. However, I know that in their absence and with the mandates and the roles that they perform, Kenya will be totally different. I speak for all those people who served in that capacity and who languish in poverty, despite the fact that they gave us Kenya that we enjoy to live in today. I speak for those men and women who cannot afford to buy food for themselves and their families. I speak for those men and women who cannot clothe themselves, despite the fact that they rendered 10 years of service to this country. I know that the country is going through a very difficult moment financially. So, I know that it might not be possible to backdate this to 2010 because that needs a colossal amount of money. That needs another amendment to do away with it. We can say that henceforth, we will be paying those people who served the country diligently for 10 years. If we agree that we will pay them Kshs100,000 up from Kshs6,000, we will have done a big service to this country."
