    "content": "Even yesterday, when we debated having cheaper electricity and putting infrastructure in place, we realized that other countries have done the same to encourage investment in their countries, resulting in jobs. So, it is not that we are exporting labour. We have been unable to create opportunities for people here. If you speak to the people who have spent their lives in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, or the U.S. doing manual jobs, they would like to come back home. That is the message they told me to carry when I came back; that they would like to return home. They would like to retire in Kenya. They would also like to retire and find opportunities to do the same jobs they are doing here in Kenya and be around their families. Lastly, I have challenged my friend, the Majority Leader, that we need to maintain the spirit we had when we discussed that Motion on nationhood and the state of the nation. It would feel bad if we lost that spirit. If something is wrong, then it is wrong. I do not think there is anybody who can be proud of the country we live in. When you see the images we saw yesterday on the news; police officers are bludgeoning a student at the university, and a police officer just casually drops a tear gas canister where the young man is lying. I do not think anybody or any of us can be proud to live in such a country. We need to go back to that spirit, that as we conduct our affairs here, we can set the objective truth and put our country right. I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
