"content": "rest of Kenyans, do not understand what that politics is all about. What I am saying is that there are people who do not want to change the system, so that they can perpetrate corruption and increase poverty and landlessness, which are the main problems in this country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I listened very carefully when the President was speaking. There was no mention of Agenda Four. Agenda Four has the issues of constitutional review, land reforms, judicial reforms and police reforms, amongst others. I disagree with the Presidentâs Address; that in order to reform the Judiciary, we need to give it more money. The Judiciary has enough money, but it is riddled with corruption. Kenyans are not getting justice from the judicial system. We must address this problem as a country. We cannot allow a group of us to allow Kenyans that chance after what we went through last year. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is the issue of who is in charge, particularly when it comes to the issue of our territorial borders as in the cases of Migingo Island, West Pokot District and Turkana. Related to this is also the issue of Mungiki . After looking at the involvement of the Commissioner of Police, I think he is just being used as a scapegoat. There is a political âpolice forceâ under the Commissioner of Police that is being controlled by some politicians. That political âpolice forceâ is the one that is killing people and the Commissioner of Police is being blamed. How on earth could we have police officers massacring our people, as the leadership of this country keeps quiet about it? I have not heard the top leadership of this country talk about Mungiki . We must act! We cannot keep quiet any more. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is the issue of food security. Why is Kenya begging for food 45 years after Independence? What is the Government doing about it? We cannot keep complaining year in, year out, about lack of maize, and bad weather, yet we have rivers. How much money is being put into dams? We have so much water. This is a country that is naturally endowed. It is because we have refused to embrace the necessary reforms that will make sure that the civil servants Ms. Karua has criticised are not in control of public funds without supervision. We must control what they are doing with it. You keep hearing of a road being built at a cost of Kshs3 billion but when you look at it, you find that there is no money that has been spent on it. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am, therefore, calling upon the President and the Prime Minister to reform the systems. Let us run away from systems that are not working. Billions of shillings are being used through the Kazi Kwa Vijana Programme; to give work to the youth. The system is using the wrong method. That money must be taken to the constituencies. I hear the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are opposed to that programme, but this country belongs to us. If the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) is working well in most parts of this country, the system of decentralised funds is what is going to work. That is the only way we are going to make sure that, in Gem, we do not go without funds. Right now, money is being spent very sparingly. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, regarding the Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF) and the Women Enterprise Development Fund (WEDF), in my constituency, nobody has received money from those Funds. I only see advertisements of success stories on television. This money is given to banks that are politically controlled."
