    "content": "demean him in the presence of the media. How are we going to promote our people? It is very shameful that we come to this Parliament and approve the use of billions of shillings, but that money does not benefit our people. The other problem is this thing we call Design, Finance and Build. This is where projects are designed in Chinese, priced in Chinese, awarded in Chinese and we claim that we are helping our people. Yet, we are importing Chinese to this country. That is why the Government is constructing polytechnics, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TIVETs) and our young people are refusing to join. Why would you join and yet, every time you see a Cabinet Secretary (CS) on television, near him is a Chinese contractor. How will our young people benefit? If we are going to do projects, we must involve our people and the Government has to change. The Government has to change. We have to change the way we are doing things in this country. This country is now in debt and if you look at the works that have caused that debt, all of them have gone to China. None of those jobs are being done by our local people. None! Why would we be paying debts that we borrow from China, they come here to execute very expensive works and then they take twice the amount of money to China? It is very unfair."
