    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am saying that the privatisation that was carried out in Kenya was done very indiscriminately and without proper preparations. I am now saying that most of our parastatals should be restructured. We should retain public ownership. They should be restructured in such way that they can be efficient to provide better services and give this country more money. As a country, we cannot allow a situation where foreign companies come in here and make colossal profits at the expense of our people. As I have said before, Kenya is a country that got Independence some 40 years ago, just like Malaysia. If we compare Kenya to Malaysia and Singapore now, we cannot match those countries because they have grown nearly 100 times more than us. We know that in those countries, the Bretton Woods institutions gave them the same advices. But they chose their own path. They looked at their situation in terms of their existing condition. They only did certain things which they thought were beneficial to them. With those few remarks, I beg to move and call upon hon. Mwandawiro to second this Motion."
