    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I withdraw that. Those people are defrauding Kenyans. It is important that Kenyans are told the truth about the stock exchange. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to talk about the prevailing insecurity in the country. The Government has tried to contain the Mungiki menace in Central Province. It is good that they have dealt with it where it begun. We all know that the Mungiki menace is not only confined in Central Province, but it is also in other provinces as well. The Minister should not only address insecurity in Central Province, but also in Nairobi and Rift Valley Provinces. The Mt. Elgon skirmishes have been ignored and our people are suffering. In fact, the Government forces are shooting them dead. These are issues which this Government must address instead of telling us about all the good things it has achieved. The Government talks about free primary education, and yet there is a shortage of 250 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 29, 2007 teachers. How do we expect a teacher to handle a class of 60 or 100 pupils? In fact, it should not be called free primary education any more because it is just free learning where pupils pass time to graduate from one class to another. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am happy that Ministers in this Government are talking about corruption. If they are complaining about corruption and they cannot do anything about it, they should just keep quiet or resign. It is time that they are judged by their words. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
