    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, Nakuru is a very important town in terms of agriculture in this country. Elevating it to a city status is an important step. However, let us be fair. Towns have been elevated in this country and I want to call upon the administration in Nakuru to live to the expectations. They should open up their minds and try to make the city have a kind of a monopoly status similar to other countries where a certain town is known to be the centre of steel industry, electronic inventions and manufacturing or agricultural processing. The administration in Nakuru should try to study and see the advantage they have and elevate Nakuru to that special status. An issue has been mentioned and it is something that I would like to call upon the administration in Nakuru Town to do something about. Having beggars, poor people or street children among us should make us feel guilty here and in heaven when we go there that we created a society where the kind of children that were loitering in Nakuru were there. They must do all that needs to be done to ensure they remove that blot on their face. Taking innocent children and dumping them in a forest or taking beggars and locking them somewhere was the work of Hitler not something present day democratic institutions of governance should tolerate. We should be feeling guilty in the first place that we created those children. These children are there because the society or the country as we know it today, is not having resources going to developing the lives of the people. Resources are being siphoned. Personally, I think nearly 80 percent of the resources we keep on voting here to counties do not go to any useful purpose but to waste."
