    "content": "exempted. There has to be a full disclosure. I do not know how we will end up getting the full disclosure. Sometimes, people out there think that Parliament does not do its job, but we as Parliament and as legislators have to find a way to bring these walls and bottlenecks down so that at the end of the day, Kenya can be efficient, profitable, and can bring prosperity to the people of Kenya. We want investors to come with goodwill. We want investors to come but not to rip us off. We are not rich, but even if we were a rich, developed country, we should not sell ourselves short. We will always need to provide wealth for our people, and we cannot provide it when we allow ourselves to have bad deals. Why do we allow bad deals? Because of corruption. Who benefits from the corruption? The people who make those deals. You can see that even if they benefit from this corruption, they will not make much money because corruption does not pay in the long run. Eventually, it catches up with you. As a country, we must ask ourselves this question: What is in Kenya's best interest? Was this deal in Kenya's best interest? It was not. I hope that the anti-corruption authorities will deal with the people who did this, and we shall see it in the near future. We hope that the money that the Government lost in terms of taxes will be collected so that that money can come and serve the people of Kenya. Whether local or foreign, investors who invest in our country should work for Kenya's best interests. Thank you."
