    "content": "Let us be fair. About 70 to 75 per cent of the population of this country is youthful. Youths lack employment and livelihoods. These are people who are qualified and have done everything that any good citizen could have done, but are at home because their future has been stolen by leaders who are corrupt. We must address this monster called corruption. I find it interesting that people talk about how we are going to empower the youth, put money in their pockets and how things will be great in this country. Whatever economic slogan and ‘big’ words you throw around and big words, if you do not address how your leadership is going to address the corruption aspect--- Madam Temporary Speaker, I am speaking to those people who are aspiring to be President, governors and Members of Parliament (MPs). Senators and Members of County Assembly (MCAs) do not have any resources, so they do not have anywhere to steal from anyway. There is no opportunity because there are no funds allocated to them. However, any person who has some funds for the public that he allocates, the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) of this world, county governments and everything--- If that person who is contesting for those positions does not give you as a Kenyan a very good strategy on how to fight corruption, he is cheating you before he even goes to that house for that seat. He is just telling you his plans to steal from you in the future. That is the fact of the matter."
