    "content": "Under Article 10 of the Constitution, particularly if you refer to Article 10(2) (a) and (c), the national values and principles of governance; good governance, integrity, transparency and accountability. I would have liked to hear from the President that as we embark to emulate and if possible, surpass the Asian Tigers. He has laid the foundation for that in infrastructure and in many projects that his Government has undertaken. What has he done to deal with the issue of corruption, particularly when hear that quite a bit of the money that is budgeted for, according to the Auditor-General, he said that they budget for corruption money inside there. At least one third goes to the pockets of the officials and at least Kshs2 billon is lost every month or so is lost to the pockets of individuals. What is he doing and what has he done? I would have liked to hear more of that. On that, with your permission, I would like to quote Singapore because of the Asian Tigers, I think it is closer to us because at the very beginning they also faced the issues of ethnicity amongst the people of Chinese origin, Malay origin and Asiatic origin. There were communal fights and many people died, but Lee Kuan Yew was able to deal with that issue and then turned to the issue of corruption. Without going into very much, I would like to read what Lee Kuan Yew said. He said many things about corruption, but let me just make one quotation."
