    "content": "We should really push this particular Bill, so that we can give a terrible blow to the runaway cancer that is eating into our national fabric. Corruption is a crippling disease. It not only affects us in our daily lives as a vice, but it is also costly economically. It costs our economy billions of shillings every year in terms of monetary value. It also affects how we do business. There are a lot of people who would like to invest in our country. When they compare us with neighbouring countries like Tanzania or Ethiopia, we are always rated lowly. They say that Kenya is a beautiful country which has a great opportunity for investment. However, the depth of corruption and the conflict of interest is such that it is not a good country to do business in. Those people go to Rwanda and Tanzania. The Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) spoke about our economic situation the other day. He said that Tanzania and Uganda get more foreign direct investment because the environment for doing business there is better than ours. Conflict of interest and corruption are some of the obstacles in many of our institutions."
