    "content": "we are telling those who are hijacking their conversation that they have always been there, but they have never offered any solution. They are using the backdoor. They want to use our young men and women and yet, they are hiding in their cocoons. They do not want to come out. Our young men and women came out, and they have talked and we have heard them. To fuel what is going on in the country, they caption what a Member of Parliament has not said. In my case, I was told that I had insulted the Gen. Zs. I can never do something like that. I am a mother of Gen. Zs in my house and we hear them. Those people who do not wish us well are creating stories out there so that they can hijack a conversation that they themselves have failed to have. I am talking to EACC. It is an independent institution in this Republic. They have also failed. People who are corrupt are supposed to be investigated by EACC so that they can be taken to court. We usually hear of arrests, but we do not see any prosecutions in court. Before this Government took over, we heard of the Pandora Papers that exposed that a lot of money is stashed outside Kenya. That money is lying idle in those countries and is not helping in any way. If all the money that is stashed outside the country is brought back to this country, it is going to help us to even pay the debts that we have. It is also going to be used in our economy to build roads and do electricity connectivity. That is a conversation because our Gen Zs have come out and told us to open the conversations that are very hard to be discussed in broad day light. We also need to go back and ask ourselves how many people have stashed money outside this country. Can we start? Whoever had stashed money outside the country was given 21 days when the Pandora Papers were exposed. It is not doing our country any good. We need to have the tough conversations even about the mega scandals, including the COVID-19 billionaires. Our Gen. ZS are asking us to have those kinds of conversations in our country. Let us not sweep things under the carpet. We say we do not have money and yet, we know some people stole from Kenya. But they have never been prosecuted. I am talking to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and telling them: “Up your game! Please, help us take to court all those who have taken Kenyans’ money.” As an institution, Kenyans have assigned you the duty to arrest those who are looting this nation."
