    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the question of corruption, we have talked about it for a long time. We cannot say our people engage in corruption because of poverty. This is because we have seen rich people receiving and giving bribes. Therefore, it is not a question of poverty, but greed for money. This is a social evil and we must fight it. It calls for an in-depth analysis to get to its roots. This is because laws alone will not help us curb it. If a law is not obeyed then it will not serve the purpose for which it was intended. We cannot deny the fact that our economy has improved. However, we must make sure that its benefits trickle down to those in the lowest echelon of our society. We know majority of Kenyans are poor. It is really shameful that we have a slum such as Kibera in this city. As I fly every weekend going to my constituency, I feel bad to see many Kenyans suffering in slums and other areas. They should not be suffering if our economy is improving and trickling down to them. With those few remarks, I support."
