    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to add my voice to the debate on this very important Report against corruption. We know very well that in the entire world, corruption has affected the growth of every country, especially our own. If it were not for corruption, Kenya would be very far in terms of development and growth. However, because of the corruption that has been practiced by different leaders who have been in office at different levels, we are where we are today. Any report or action against corruption needs our total attention. I support this Report because I am one person who really advocates for a country without corruption, because that is where our delivery and success is. If you want to rescue this country from the challenges that we have had for many years, you should think of ways of overcoming this big animal called “corruption.” Corruption has been institutionalised in our country today. Wherever you go, corruption is practised. If you want to take your child to a good high school, you are forced to give money to get an admission letter. If you are looking for employment, you are forced to dish out money so that you can be lucky to be employed. This is what the Kenya Kwanza Government is up against today. This malpractice has been with us for far too long. Today, I want to congratulate the President, who is our leader, because he has confirmed and openly declared war against corruption in our country. I thank him because he has taken serious steps - he has put measures in place - to ensure that corruption is controlled in our country.
