    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute. I wish to thank the Minister for having read a very good Speech whose vision or theme was: \"Vision 2030: Working Together on the Path to Prosperity\". The three pillars for the Vision 2030 were pegged on the economic, social and political pillars. The Minister expounded so much on the achievements of the Government on the economic path, social and even the political pillars. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in our own observation, the Government has tried, compared to the past one, because I think the previous Government was doing nothing, at least, on those three pillars. That is why we are comparing it to a non-existent Government which used to operate our activities in the country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, however, all is not rosy in these sectors. If you come to the political pillar, the Minister said that he is going to create an accountable political democratic system. From the past record of this Government, since it was elected by Kenyans through their own wisdom under NARC, we have ended up with what is now a very tattered Government. How sure are we that this Government is going to have a very sound democratic system in future? How will Kenyans believe you when you came into power as NARC, but now you have ended up as a Government of National Unity? We now have Shirikisho and everything else. We cannot know which Government is in place. How can Kenyans trust you to form the next Government? It is my belief that even the \"Vision 2030\" will not be realized by this Government. I am appealing to Kenyans to use their own wisdom to ensure that this Government packs and goes back home so that we can have the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Government in power come the year 2008. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when it comes to the allocation of resources, it is common knowledge that some areas have been blacklisted. Some of us who come from marginalized communities have nothing to talk about after representing our people for five years. To make this situation worse, last week, a group of FORD(K) Members of Parliament (MPs) went to State House; a place where we vote our money, where the President is supposed to listen to everybody and ensure that development is distributed equally, and blackmailed some communities in Western Province."
