    "content": "in the economy since they fear being apprehended because of corruption. So, for us to live well in this country, we should ensure that every Kenyan gets an equal opportunity in business. As the Leader of the Majority Party has said, Government spending in this country is almost 70 per cent of the money that circulates in the economy. If it is only among a few people, we will not go anywhere. In as much as I have heard my colleagues talk about selecting politicians, we are as guilty as charged. I dare say that all Members of Parliament control how roads and NG-CDF projects are procured in their constituencies. That is the truth. I do not fear saying so because we must accept the things we do, which affect the growth of this country. You can have your say but I will have mine. This is because of our own failure to accept our laws. This law is not being made for anybody else but it is meant for us. So, we should not expect that when it is passed, we will be exempted. Let us agree that all of us, as a people, must respect our laws. We must stop interfering with tenders for roads, buildings and housing, among other projects, in our constituencies."
