    "content": "example, in Kilifi, Nyeri and Marsabit counties. They should tell us how many people they have pulled out of poverty out of its programmes. It should not talk about creating employment because we know that real employment is created by the private sector. It should talk about creating an enabling environment where the people have become millionaires and they are investing and expanding the economy and creating new wealth. We want to see factories thriving in areas like Kiambu County. They are virtually peri-urban. It is no longer viable to run these areas that surround Nairobi City County on peasant economies. That is why many youths have become delinquent because they see no future. These socio-economic rights are very important. This Bill is long overdue and we support it. We should pass it immediately. Again, it must just be an interventionary or transitory law that addresses historical injustices. The challenge is on the Government of the day to come up with a formula of creating millionaires across the country. There are too many poor people in this country for there even to be effective taxation or anything that you can call a State. As a modern State and a middle-income economy, we do not need to have this kind of contradictions in our economy. I support this Bill and I congratulate Sen. Mungatana, MGH, “the crocodile eater” – if I may be allowed to call him that – for giving us this special Bill. It will ensure that the medical care that I get at a clinic in Moyale is the same as that of a clinic in Runda."
