    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I apologise. I should stick to the word \"perpetrators\". Probably, that is a more polite word. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say that, that is wrong. If any country has to be proud of itself, it should be proud of its economy, not even politics. What are we proud of when 17 million people of this country are living below the poverty line, because public resources have been embezzled? The worst part of it is that - I think - there is a cartel involving the Kenya Anti- Corruption Commission, the Attorney-General's Office, the Judiciary and everybody else in charge of this country's economy, which has given these people a clean bill of health. As I said, they are now floating on the ninth cloud up there. In fact, they are now using their ill-gotten money to rule over us. They are all floating around. They want to be chairmen of NARC, or other parties. Thank God, most of them are probably on the other side. They want to be presidents of this country, using their ill-gotten money. I always think that the State is condoning and abetting corruption. If that is the case, this country will never see the light of the day as far as the economy is concerned. As I said, the economy is the most important thing in any developing country. We are not moving. How do we move? The other day, it was shown very clearly. Which economy is growing? Not the Kenyan economy! How does it grow when we still agree that 17 million of our people, who constitute more than half the country's population, are living below the poverty line? The economy is probably only growing for those people who have embezzled our money. If anything has to be done, those people must be completely condemned, instead of being glorified. It is those people who perpetrated the Anglo Leasing and Goldenberg scandals. We are now being told that they are going to be returned to the Cabinet. What do we know about this thing? We know very well, as our people do, that these are the people who embezzled our resources. We must be more serious than that about---"
