    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for this opportunity. I want to begin by thanking the Leader of Minority Party for noting that Kenyans are suffering, and for coming up with this very timely Motion. Kenyans will watch and know the representatives who care for them and those who do not. First and foremost, during the last campaigns which we came from last year, the Kenya Kwanza administration promised heaven on earth, but the current situation is hell on earth. The cost of unga, electricity and fuel are still high. We have now started delaying salaries. Something that has never happened since 1963 when we got our Independence. This is happening under the watch of the current regime of Kenya Kwanza. We have heard there are threats to retrench employees of the civil service without any plan. As we speak, Members of Parliament who are on their first, second or third term may probably not be re-elected because there is no National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). Out of the NG-CDF money, almost Kshs100 million is still owed to all constituencies. Our counties are also crying and we are having an economic meltdown in this Republic. What solutions is Kenya Kwanza offering? The answer is none. What they are doing is pushing and blaming other people. I am very happy because the issue of Uhuru and Raila has been mentioned. They keep telling us that they found empty coffers and that money was stolen. This regime must respect the rule of law. If anyone steals money, they control the National Police Service, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), and the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP). Let them arrest the people they keep talking about. Otherwise, we cannot keep shifting blame on people that are not responsible for the problems this country is facing. Hon. Temporary Speaker, let me tell you, last night on Monday Report, the economic advisor to the President was on Citizen Television and he said that this regime does not take advise, is wasteful and has excesses of employing CASs and buying vehicles for leadership and giving spouses and children offices."
