    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First of all, I thank my Chairman for donating two minutes to me. Corruption in Kenya is inherent in us. We need a proper definition of corruption because it is deeply rooted in the society. When the Constitution was promulgated in 2010 to introduce devolution, corruption was devolved from the national Government to the county governments. You will not achieve whatever you want unless you have something to exchange under the table. It is very interesting that even if you work for people innocently, at the end of the day, they will bring you something to appreciate your work. I believe this is a type of corruption. We should have a good definition of corruption. We should also come up with strong laws to deal with the culprits of corruption. If you go to China, Singapore and other oriental countries, it is interesting that when one is found to be corrupt, the law is not lenient on them. However, in Kenya, if one is corrupt and has a lot of money, they are given very light sentence. At the end of the day, this encourages even small children to be corrupt. Is it possible to have a curriculum to teach students in primary and secondary schools that corruption is bad so that it can be inherent in them?
