    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to oppose vehemently these regulations on the following basis: Number one, when the Kenya Kwanza brigade was moving around traversing the country during the campaign period, they promised Kenyans many things, amongst them the ‘Hustlers Fund’. They promised that most of these things will be delivered within the first 100 days. On the ‘Hustlers Fund’, even if you took television clips during the campaign trail, it was to be interest-free. Hon. Temporary Speaker, you know the Kenya Kwanza Alliance got used to moving around and dishing out money to hustlers and the expectations after elections was that the same money that was being dished out during the campaign period would continue to be dished out, and even much more from Government. But the hustlers have now turned around and have changed their mind and have discovered that what they were promised is not practical. They are now putting interest on the money that they promised to give hustlers for free. There are many other things, apart from the ‘Hustlers Fund’, which they promised. They promised food security, but we know people out there are dying of hunger. In my constituency, I have lost four people due to hunger. The only food that I received in my constituency was 450 kilogrammes of rice for a population of over 500 persons, which is a drop in the ocean. Therefore, Kenyans are being taken for a ride by the Kenya Kwanza Government through these regulations that have been tabled.
