    "content": "For us to fix our country, yes, this House can come up with recommendations but unless we have structures and institutions that are going to be the defence mechanism we use to deter our bad behaviour, we will not go anywhere. Why? Sen. Omtatah, it has been nearly a week that we have not seen a scandal but you will notice every single time in our Republic, there is scandal after scandal after scandal about public money. Madam Temporary Speaker, can we stop the abuse, misuse and wastage of public funds, so that we serve the Kenyan public with the dignity they deserve and so that we can leave a country that is better than we found it. My worry is, many of us may not see the contradiction of where we are. We are a country that has got a budget that can run between six to seven countries within the Eastern and Central African region. However, if you take the population we have of 50 million, the population of the six or seven countries I am mentioning is 300 million. How come we are not able to use the resources that we have to fix the mess we are in? That is why I keep saying, we do not need to borrow. The money we have is enough. Why is the money not enough? We keep on having ghost workers and we employ teachers, we do not know who owns them."
