    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. By the time President Mwai Kibaki was leaving Office, our debt was around Kshs1.2 trillion. Today, in less than 10 years, we are at over Kshs10 trillion. It is incumbent upon this and future governments to cushion Kenyans against the high cost of living. On the fight against corruption, President Mwai Kibaki walked the talk. I mention this respectfully. Some people brought allegations against my colleague, the Senator for Bungoma County. That Sen. Wetangula had been involved in the sale of an Embassy in Japan. The President asked him to step aside for investigations to be carried out. If he is found to have been involved, he should be taken to court and lose office. If he got cleared by the investigations, he would return to office the following day. After investigations, our colleague was found to be white as snow. When the President got the report, Sen. Wetangula, was recalled to office. That is President Mwai Kibaki for you. A man who when it comes to public service, there were no friends or enemies and the law had to take its course. Today, we have many people of questionable character who have looted public resources. However, they are still in Government serving at the pleasure of the President. A time has come for us to emulate Mzee Kibaki and do the right thing for this country. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
