    "content": "money market and interest rates going up. If interest rates continue to go up, then the performance of an economy will be affected. Companies that need to borrow money to create jobs, will not be able to do so, and we are not going to raise more taxes. If there is anything that Parliament, the Government, and the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury, can do, then it has to be something to address the spiraling public debt. I know the incoming Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury will be somebody who understands what I am talking about. I know we do not have a Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury as we talk, but I hear an announcement will be made soon. If that announcement comes, I urge the President to nominate somebody who will address some of these fundamental questions we are raising on the Budget. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have no doubt in my mind that Kenya is a rich country. However, if Kenya is a rich country, what is more fundamental is the way we allocate and utilise our resources. We have said that corruption eats a lot of our resources, and that is something that this House must address. This House must champion the war on corruption. There is nobody who will do it. This is the House that must do it. To ensure that this Budget is effective, I urge Members of Parliament to spearhead efforts aimed at addressing the question of corruption. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support. Thank you."
