    "content": "Jubilee came to power, the increase has been over Ksh600 billion every year. Immediately Jubilee came to power in April 2013, every financial year, the debt level has been increasing on an average of Ksh631 billion. The plain truth is that no one in Jubilee can run away from causing this country to incur the debt that we have today. In fact, before anyone talks to Kenyans, the first thing one must do is to apologise to Kenyans. The Deputy President should apologise to Kenyans for causing the increased debt level before he complains about the rising debt level. Figures do not lie. The problem we are facing today is as a result of an appetite of borrowing by the Jubilee Government. This appetite was informed by populist projects some of which are not adding value to this country. How many times did we complain about borrowing money, the Eurobond, to clean streets of Kibra? Much as it is important to live in a clean environment, but who goes to a bank to borrow money to come and slash or clean the compound? Nobody. We borrowed money for corruption; we borrowed money to finance dams that do not exist and we borrowed money to “eat” at Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA). The KEMSA scandal is part of the loans we will be paying and the Kenyans who have stolen the money are in this country. Look at some of them appearing before Committees of Parliament and saying that God directed them to KEMSA. How can Kenyans have a negative attitude towards other Kenyans? How can you tell us that God directed you to go and steal at KEMSA? Which God is this? It is not the God I worship every day and go to church every Saturday."
