    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Corruption in every Government starts immediately after that Government is inaugurated. It starts by calling elected Members to parliamentary group meetings where they are told that they are in the Government and that the other Members are in the opposition and, therefore, they must defend the Government. The functions of Parliament, both for the Minority and Majority parties, include legislation, representation, and oversight. Some people should not feel that because they are in the Government, they should not criticise it. They are supposed to critic the Government. Corruption starts with blackmail. When the leadership wants to start engaging in corruption, it blackmails church leaders. Church leaders cannot condemn anybody’s behaviour because the decision to condemn anyone’s behaviour is from God. Corruption starts when the Government of the day appoints a church leader or a bishop to preside over the anti-corruption institution. Before they were in leadership, the current Government told us that the money that was lost in the Kimwarer and Arror Dams projects was only Ksh7 billion. They are currently in leadership and they have not recovered that Ksh7 billion. They complained about KEMSA, but the newspaper was awash with news that somebody’s son was there."
