    "content": "When there are funerals, they know that the Member of Parliament has the solution. When there are school fees challenges, the same case. That also informs me that I should ask Members to come up with proper legislative programmes for making sure that if the Government of Kenya will provide free education, it must be free. We should not have free education with 100 per cent transition, but classrooms and teachers are not there. In the absence of proper classrooms, they first start with the NG-CDF, whose amount is inadequate. It cannot provide all the required classrooms. Then they start with various Harambees. You find that in every month, there are about 10 or 12 Harambees that need your hand because you are invited. What will you do? I will not say that Members of Parliament should not invest. However, I can only warn you that against the income of a Member of Parliament, and I know the maximum that a Member of Parliament who relies on his salary can get, it is not possible to invest. If somebody is lucky to invest, the much I heard as was expressed, then he must be in a privileged position where you can do some kind of horse-trading to make extra money. If it is from the salary, it is not even possible for a Member of Parliament to buy two grade cattle per month. Otherwise, you will be near losing your job at the altar of getting your voters to start shouting at you all the time."
