    "content": "do you give to the Ministry of Industrialisation? It is shameful! It cannot do what you want it to do. Why is the Ministry of Agriculture not talking about processing and adding value? I was very sad today when I listened to the Minister for Co-operatives Development and Marketing in respect of milk being poured and yet, it is something that we can export. It is something that we are able to distribute within the country. There are areas which lack milk and there are areas which have over-production. If you have proper infrastructure, you can distribute the milk within Kenya. Kenya is the biggest economy in the region. Almost 60 per cent of the entire region is the Kenyan Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and yet, we are very busy giving ourselves some very strange comparisons. Why do we compare ourselves to a country which is hardly able to manage itself? Why do we not look at the international market where we ought to be competitive? Why should we not ask ourselves why we are bringing the pirates from the Indian Ocean to try them in Kenya? What are we supposed to achieve from that, other than exposing ourselves to security risks? Why are the Americans and the British unwilling to deal with that aspect? Why should it be a burden on Kenya? I would like to see a day when Kenyans will stand up and say that they are going to manage their affairs. When they will say: âWe are proud of ourselves and we shall do our things in our own ways and in a manner that suits us.â If you look at the Judiciary, I do not think that by saying that we should remove all those fellows and put in new ones will solve the problem. Some of us are lawyers, so we know how long it will take for a magistrate or a judge to go and record proceedings, go and write judgments and then hope that you will say you will bring a new one in without giving him the facilities and funds. How will you make him work any better? We are saying we want so many counties. Let us have a judge in each county. Let us have magistrates in those counties. But have we got the law courts to put them there? You do not have them. So, will the new Constitution suddenly transform itself into producing new law courts? Will it transform itself into producing new police stations? Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, so, besides the ideal, how we will manage our society through a new Constitution, we must, as a Parliament, still work on those infrastructural issues; that is the things that matter to people. I am not too sure that Kenyans are too bothered about having a new Constitution. I think they want to see a functioning Government. The way we have been managing our affairs is very far from satisfactory because we pay lip service in the fight against corruption. We are all saying that we must catch the big fish but who goes to the Ministry of Lands? Who offers Kshs100 so that you can jump the queue? Who goes to the District Commissionerâs office? Is it not ourselves, the ordinary people who prompt this? Let us not simply think that if we got one or two people, we will have solved our problem. Let us sincerely work on civic education. I remember, in 2003, Kenyans were arresting police officers at the traffic checkpoints because they were saying that it is not proper for police officers to take bribes. It is not proper for you to enter into an overloaded matatu. What went wrong? Where did that aspect go? Until we recapture that mood and those ideas, we will not move forward in this country. So, let us go back to the basics. If you want our economy to grow, look at our Companies Law. How many licences do you need to start a business in Kenya? How many visits do you have to make to the Ministry of Lands? How many visits must you make to the local authorities to get approvals for your drawings, plans or licences to do"
