    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. When this happens in the Government, the people who suffer are the Kenyan public; the farmers. For those of us who represent cane farmers, the people who produce sugar for this country, those factories down there, there are some that require expansion and support. There are farmers who need to be helped and should not be taxed. There are those farmers who should be helped to organise their own transport for their cane. Their organisations should be helped to ensure they get something. This is what I am talking about! That, instead of fighting, they should concentrate on providing services to Kenyans. We have had reports of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and the Public Investments Committee (PIC) which have been brought to this House, like I had said earlier, some of which have not been implemented. However, you will see those recommendations and the issues I am talking about concerning Kenyans. Those issues are covered in there! Recommendations are adopted by the whole House but are never implemented. Some of the recommendations are those small things that we raise. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need to change and re-focus our energies, as leaders of this country, to serve people. We need to re-focus our energies to work together to fight corruption jointly and as all Kenyans. Not a section of Kenyans should be exempted. Even in employment, some of the people involved go to the Pending Bills Committee most of whose members come from one community. Some of those cowboy contractors claiming pending bills come from that community and they are working together to steal from the public. This must be stopped! With those few remarks, I beg to support."
