    "content": "How will they do this? You have people who turn the economy. You have people who will sit in offices on their computers and work. You have people who will collect revenue with honesty. All these are people who come from middle-level colleges. You do not need a PhD holder to manage a payroll. You do not need a PhD holder to manage a master roll for paying land rates and land rent. You need technically-trained persons who will sit on end and tell you if Nairobi optimally collected its revenue like we know, Nairobi would be collecting close to Kshs40 billion every year. How much do they collect? Kshs8 billion. The rest of the money is going into people’s pockets because we do not have people to do the job. We have had cases where every five years, we elect 47 Kenyans to be governors. At the end of five years, our number of billionaires has increased by 47 because of poor management of our resources. This is because we do not have people at every level of our chain of management who look at things in a patriotic manner and make sure things are done properly. I want to encourage the Ministry of Education that going into the future, we must have a serious item in our curriculum on how to inculcate patriotism in our children to the extent that they do not look at ill-gotten wealth as a measure of success. Our children should look at hard work as a virtue of success. That is what we should have. What we have today is any crook who turns up in the village in a big car, everybody thinks that this is the measure of success. When you turn up in the village and tell them that without you, Nairobi would not be having water, nobody cares. It is the size of your car that people want to see. Eti Sen. Farhiya alienda Nairobi"
