    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to tell my brother I am not demonising street action. I am demonising violence, anarchy, and looting of supermarkets by mobs. I want to encourage that as much as we are saying that we are in a problem, we shall not fix it by pretending that we can borrow to pay salaries and cater for our recurrent expenditure. We cannot pretend that we can borrow from Peter to pay Paul. We must live within our means and allow this Government to act in a prudent and responsible manner in managing the economy. I heard Hon. John Mbadi asking about principal shareholding. I want to tell him this: if you are a major shareholder, you steady the ship to make sure it does not sink. I want to ask our brothers to help us to steady the ship. Do not sink this ship with violence, anarchy and disruption of the economy. We can only regain on the revenue losses when the ship is steady. The economy will not grow when we want to disrupt it every Monday, Sunday, and Thursday. I want to encourage my brother, Hon. Opiyo Wandayi, that when the right time comes, please, bring better ideas. We are willing and ready to listen to you. However, we are not ready to be blackmailed to take over the failed policies of subsidising corruption-ridden consumption subsidies that fed the monster of corruption in this country. We are not ready to do that. We shall not feed the monster."
