    "content": "Jeff Koinange’s Bench. I told them: “This is a Mediation Committee sitting, my friend.” Hon. Makali is my witness. Those who go to NTV breakfast shows - Hon. Jakoyo, Hon. Khalwale, Hon. Wamatangi, Hon. Chris and others - please note that going to morning shows is different from attending a Committee of the House. It is about facts and figures. So, I told ole Kina: “We are not before Jeff Koinange, my friend. This is a Mediation Committee.” So, this man proposed and Mahamud seconded. If you want to hear what the late Tom Mboya and the late Jomo Kenyatta said in those days, you can go to the HANSARD. Forget about the written one. You can listen to their voices. So, our Speaker, the Clerk and all the team went and picked the HANSARD and listened to it. Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah was proposing and Hon. Mahamud was seconding. The Senators were quiet. They were very busy. So, their case in court has collapsed, as far as the appropriation is concerned. By the way, we have cornered these people. The problem is the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. We have even agreed that the allocation of money in this House must be on pro rata basis. We must share money in terms of unit cost and the cost of a Member of Parliament. Today, the Senate, which has 67 Members has more resources than the National Assembly. They are travelling around the world. If you watch the Senate in the afternoon, you see that they only discuss statements and petitions. Nothing else. They are buying seats for county assemblies at Kshs50 million. Go to Kitui today, there is a seat for the Senator and Speaker. The cost of that seat is Kshs50 million. Even Makau Mutua, for the first time, because the Senators are occupying his eight-room hotel in Kitui, tweeted: “These are the fruits of devolution”."
