We should be careful on who we elect as our Governors and Senators. The mad rush by current MPs, former MPs and Ministers to abandon MPship and turn to the counties is borne out of greed to control and amass more wealth through the counties' Ksh.1.5-2 billion budget. the future MPs can be left to eat the CDF money which is only 7% of the national budget. With less opportunity to eat through the Parliamentary Service Commission, which MPs controlled and increased their salaries at will, our current leaders and former eaters are dying to be Governors and Senators. What Kenyans need to do is not to elect people who have been MPs/ Ministers before. We look for a new generation of leaders, not recycled old and tired fellows. There is however no guarantee that the new generation will not be as greedy as the old. But what can we do.
