    "content": "Members of Parliament, to fight the dragon called “corruption”. Dragons fight back. We have a tendency, as a Government, to sacrifice people who are not responsible for corruption. We have a tendency of going for the blood of the innocent and leaving the real culprits outside the dragnet. It is, therefore, important for this House, especially now that we are debating this very important Speech, to send a very strong message that Kenya is not a country of corrupt people. We cannot have thieves becoming the heroes of this country just because of their looted wealth. We have to fight that vice from this House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of the constitutional review process, the new Constitution that has been the dream of many Kenyans for many years, should now become a reality. Of course, the Draft Constitution has some few grey areas. I would like to urge my colleagues to pass the document – we can do the amendments later – so that we can given Kenyans what they have been yearning for all these years. I want to conclude my remarks by thanking the President for his Speech. But I think it is important for the people who have been given the responsibility--- I think somebody has to proofread his Speech so that areas that may not have been covered can be given emphasis. I will come back to the issue of pastoralists, which is a very big sector that has been given a raw deal. With those very few remarks, I support."
