    "content": "That has gone on and on. At this moment in time, in these procurement plans, the budgeted corruption that takes place is over 80 per cent of the corruption in this country. I am very pleased with the President’s remarks that he is going to take swift action. I agree with what he said about mambo matatu . I will support if people who have been involved in grand corruption are going to be hanged at Uhuru Park. The fact is that our poor are getting poorer. Economic injustice is not being dealt with in a proper manner. I plead with the President and his team to make sure that we start cutting the cost from the rich so that the poor can benefit. Right now, the poor are paying more for unga, water and everything in the slums. That is economic injustice. I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party and the President that subsidisation is not the way out. It is just digging a hole down further. In my view, this is what we need to do: Mr President Sir, the debt office must be made independent. Let us make the debt office autonomous so that it is not monitored by others. Finally, I want to suggest that as Members of Parliament, we should fly on the economy class when going anywhere on our visits abroad, like the British and the Americans are doing; not business class which is five times more costly. Thank you for giving me the time."
