    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First, I must state for the purpose of record that I support the Bill. Kenya has a tendency of having syndicate loans. They are not normal loans, and this is a tendency that has been there for a very long time. At the moment, we have a budget deficit of Ksh720 billion. Where will we get that money from? The answer is simple - we will take a loan. We have become a laughing stock. When you travel outside the country and meet your fellow African brothers and sisters, they ask you what your population size and budget are. The next question they ask is where we will get the money to cater for our vast population. I have experienced this. If a white man is seated next to you, he will say that we will go to beg them to help us. I felt ashamed because Kenya is a rich country. We have resources. We can get money locally, but we have a tendency of borrowing. We do not borrow to help our economy, but a few people end up pocketing that money. Currently, the President has a large motorcade. It will take an hour for his motorcade to pass you on the street. Governors also have large motorcades. That is a bad tendency. We are hungry. We are looking for food. The cost of fuel has gone up, but our leaders can fuel the cars that they move around in. Western countries are richer than us, yet they have no resources in The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
