    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to support the Motion. We find ourselves in a very unfortunate situation today. Everybody knows that this country is a middle level economy. Unfortunately, we cannot pay for our own goods and services in the country just because of indiscipline borrowing and misuse of resources available to the country. As you look at a paper today, the debt stands at Kshs10 trillion and what capacity is capped is always Kshs6oo billion, which is available for use for this country. The Kshs600 billion cannot fund our education sector. So, we will need to borrow. This country is experiencing drought. About 70 per cent of the country is facing hunger. There is no food and the unfortunate thing is while people are dying, our farmers are expecting a bumper harvest in the Rift Valley. They are harvesting their maize and storing it while the Government is importing duty free food. We are paying money for the imports. We are importing maize, rice and sugar. This is a misplaced priority."
