    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I also thank my brother, Mheshimiwa, for donating two minutes to me. I think Kenyans are pretenders. We speak very well here, but what we say is not what we practise. I remember just after we came to Parliament, the President came here and talked about how he will deal with corruption. However, I was shocked to see that among the first people who were pardoned by the President was someone who was convicted by a Kenyan court for being corrupt. How will Kenyans trust that he is going to deal with corruption? People who stole chicken were not pardoned, but a known thief who went through a court process and was found guilty was pardoned by the President. Does he really mean what he says? What is the meaning of corruption? It is actually bribing someone. The youths were bribed with money and were called sweet names such as ‘‘hustlers’’. They were also promised nice things, but they are yet to see any of those. That is also corruption. So, corruption does not just mean taking money and putting it in your pocket. The churches, just as the mosques, are also corrupt. They lie to wananchi . When a church tells you to give out Ksh10, and pray for you to turn it into Ksh100, that is corruption. We need to be honest, especially the Government. The Executive should not tell us that they will fight corruption and the President pardons a corrupt person. May Allah watch over you. I lack words."
