    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, mine is very short and precise. My comment goes to the shareholders of the country. I know I am not a shareholder, because I was told I am not one. So, I am requesting that when you are paying our debts, please exclude me because I am not a shareholder. As we continue talking about debt, I will comment as a stranger, since I am not a shareholder. As a stranger, I request to understand the debt situation of every business, as shareholders of this country. Can they tell us when they borrowed? In accounting, there are loans in profit and loss accounts. Looking at the debt the country has, can we be told when they borrowed a single shilling from another country? What did they spend this money on? As it remains a debt to the shareholders, did they make profit out of it? As they struggle to pay – I believe maybe my children might be shareholders God willing – if they happen to be, can they understand before I give birth to them that shareholders of this country borrowed money in their absence and made a loss? Unfortunately, they have to pay it. Hon. Temporary Speaker, in this situation as we borrow, we should think carefully if it is worth it. I think even the debtors are wondering because some debts were taken before the new shareholders came in. I am sure that this country is going to run into problems very soon when the owners of the money become aware of who owes them, and Fatuma is not one of them. I request the leaders of this country to be very careful, to be very serious and to choose their words as leaders and as people who respect other Kenyan citizens who are not shareholders. When you borrow a loan and refuse to pay, you should know that your words will be used against you. I remind you once more that I am not a shareholder, and I do not owe anyone. Thank you, Hon.
