    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion by the Member who also happens to be my brother-in-law. He has married from where I come from. Corruption is a menace that must be dealt with conclusively. We are where we are as a country because of corruption. If you remember, in one of his media interviews with the Fourth Estate, the former President, Uhuru Kenyatta, told us that the Government was losing almost Ksh2 billion every day. If the current administration can just focus on tightening the loopholes that aid corruption, we do not need to increase the taxes in order to sustainably pay our debts. It pains me when I find that some people cannot even afford healthcare. Some public hospitals do not even have medicines. The last scene we had was that of the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA), where billions of shillings from donors were lost to an extent that the Government had to return some money to the donors, just because of corruption. I think as a country and Government, if we nail it, we will succeed. It was not enough to only sack the Principal Secretary. It was not enough. We know that it takes two to tango. For instance, in the KEMSA scenario, you must have the giver in corruption, and you must have the person receiving. So, if the Principal Secretary was the person receiving, who was the person giving?"
