    "content": "fell out with Uhuru Kenyatta. It started long time ago but it was escalated during the “handshake” period. There is also something that we are forgetting as Members of Parliament. We allowed too many Chinese in the country. They have brought too many goods to the extent that even when we increase our revenue sources, we still pay the Chinese. They do not bank in this country; they take the resources and revenue of Kenyans outside the country. There are also other forms of corruption and deals in Government by Government officials. There is need to put up irrigation programmes. For a dam allocated Ksh20 billion, Ksh10 billion goes towards compensation for land and only Ksh5 billion goes towards the actual construction of the dam. We need to use the waters of Lake Victoria, Lake Baringo and Lake Naivasha, where you come from, to change Kenya through food production and food security. That is what will change Kenya, not maandamano. There is need to provide subsidies for farmers in the Rift Valley. Nobody is talking about them today. We need to boost agricultural production. That is what will change Kenya. Promoting the growth of industries in Kenya is what will change the country, not maandamano or too much talk from our Kenya Kwanza side. We must stop the talk and walk the talk by delivering to the people of Kenya. This is the time for reason. This is not the time for debate on who wins what. It is time for debate about Kenyans winning."
