    "content": "Okay, I withdraw the word \"cheating\" and replace it with the word \"misleading\". The Government is misleading the youth that it is helping them, while, in fact, Kshs100 per youth group in the Republic is nothing. The same applies to the Women Enterprise Development Fund of Kshs2 billion. Our women are being mislead to believe that the Government is taking care of them. Just divide Kshs2 billion by the number of Maendeleo ya Wanawake Organisation (MWO) groups in all the constituencies, it comes to nothing! Therefore, we would like this Government not to take Kenyans for a ride. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the economy has grown at a rate of 6.1 per cent. What does this translate to wananchi ? They still buy sugar at a certain price. Fuel prices have gone up. Bus fares have gone up. So, as a layman, how do I know that the economy has improved? The economy has improved only for the rich people. I would like to ask a very fundamental question; where did the unutilised money for the last financial year go to? We want to be told by the Minister when he responds, how much money was unutilised in the last financial year and where is it? Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to talk very briefly on health sector. We have constructed so many dispensaries using the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF), but the Ministry of Health has not posted medical staff. We want that to be done immediately. The same case applies to the Ministry of Education. This financial year the Ministry has been allocated Kshs106 billion. However, they are planning to employ only 11,000 teachers. With a shortage of 65,000 teachers, what is 11,000 teachers? That means 100 teachers per district, including those which were created for political reasons. This Government has its priorities upside down! If technocrats are working, they should tell the Government to put their priorities right. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to mention something about the Vision 2030. That Vision is a blind thing. As I was saying, it is not our own. It was created by another person. A vision should be your own thing; where you are, where you want to go and how you want to get there. The Government is not telling Kenyans where it is heading. I think we should get the Government to wake up and put its house in order, the Budget can fund all projects. Finally, what is so secret about the operations of the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC)? We have been funding KACC and yet, it has not given us any results. We want to be told what KACC is doing for Kenya to stamp out corruption. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
