    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. My brothers and sisters, the biggest borrowing place for hustlers in this country is no longer the Hustler Fund. It is the mtu wa kiosk. In the morning, they have to borrow to consume. They borrow eggs, sugar and maziwa. They are recorded as debtors in the mama wa kiosk book. This is the endless problem that we have. If you set up the Hustler Fund, make it possible for people to borrow assets to allow them to do business. Lastly, we have the housing tax. For our mothers in the villages and our people in Kibera and Mathare, their pension scheme has never been saving money to buy houses. Their pension scheme is for their children. Mothers educate their children so that when they get educated, they buy them houses. Several people in this House are buying their parents houses, including myself. I am building my father a house. The Government has made it impossible for a mother in Kibera or Mathare to do business, borrow or survive. They cannot afford to take their children to school. I cannot dream or have any hope in this country. The Government should go back to the basics of the promises on the hustler economy and make it possible for them to thrive in this country. Otherwise, we will continue to talk about big dreams while the President will continue to use Kshs500 million for travel that could be used to give hustlers to buy boda boda, mkokoteni or washing machines to build their dreams."
