    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Actually, I feel very embarrassed that somebody who is younger than me is trying to stop me from continuing to contribute. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us accept that we can develop this country, and show the way. I was referring to watching television and reading newspapers. You will find an ambassador challenging the Government and Kenyans, and yet, we remain quiet. My question is: What contribution is that particular ambassador's country giving us here? They have not constructed a single road for us. They just attack us because they are members of the Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). I would like the Minister for Finance to tell us one day what those countries have done for us. For instance, I have not known where Americans have contributed towards food and water supply and health services. But they are the worst when it comes to attacking our country. Likewise, even the British Ambassador to Kenya speaks against our Government and country, as if they own us. Even if we put together the American and British aid, it will not be equivalent to half of what we are getting from China. People are just opening big mouths because they knew how to colonise and we are psychologically still fearing them. We have a Government which has also a system of communicating with foreigners. We should use that system to tell them: \"Look, you have only a place where you will take your audience.\" No Kenyan Ambassador will be allowed to address a meeting or press conference in the United States of America (USA) to attack the Government of the USA. Likewise, no High Commissioner of Kenya in London can be allowed to attack the British Government on its soil. But here, we have created a situation which is very bad. This tendency must stop."
