    "content": "I still believe in bringing back this economy. There was a proposal by the Head of State on how to seal loopholes and wastage to make sure that, at the end of the day, we can save from our current budget going forward. I urge that, that area is also supported so that sectors that are sometimes not well-monitored and where there is wastage are overseen. We should take our role as Parliament seriously so that we can save a lot for this country. This morning, one of the speakers was very categorical and critical on the area of corruption. If we put a stamp on this area so that we zero-rate corruption, we can save and have enough for our economy. We are almost at the red flag in terms of borrowing. Serious measures need to be taken to make sure that we are within our levels of survival without borrowing every other day. I am sure we can arrive at this dream if we make sure that our country zero-rates corruption. I am also of the opinion that the jua kali sector, especially in this City, is an area of serious concern. Those who live here without proper arrangement will be in a very bad position. That is why I urge that, as we consider other areas, we should not forget about the City. This City generates over 60 per cent of contributions to our revenue. It is important that, as we share resources, we should not forget that the City contributes a hefty amount of money. We would also like to enjoy what we generate within this City. Let the hustlers of this City also enjoy. This is a capital City and yet, you will find that we still have murram roads. This City must be able to compete with other cities of the world. As we share revenue, let us consider that the capital City of the country should be given enough so that, as it flourishes, Kenya does too."
