    "content": "in stating that he wanted to remove the fuel subsidies of the end products. We should subsidise the production which will bring down the price of those foodstuffs that we use. The President also talked about the Kshs50 billion that would go to the Hustler Fund. This was his very major campaign tool, while he was going round the country. I believe that the money will assist, in a big way, the hustlers who are down there. The women, men, and youth will access that particular Fund. He also talked about the management of public resources. For a long time, our country has been losing a lot of money which is allocated to different ministries because of wastage and mismanagement. That is bigger than corruption. If the President puts more scrutiny on the management of resources and wastage, the country can come back to its vibrancy. The President addressed corruption by allocating resources to the Judiciary. If the Judiciary is empowered and given its autonomy, it can deal with the corruption cases firmly and fast. The Government entities meant to deal with corruption are the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the courts. If those autonomous bodies are given proper funding by the Government, I believe corruption in this country will go down. Actually, it is not the Executive that deals with corruption. It is not even Parliament. It is the DCI and the EACC. The cases that are handled by those entities end up in court. If we allow the courts to do their work properly without arm-twisting and intimidation, corruption in this country will come down."
