    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you could even see Ministers going there in choppers. So, do not waste my time. I want to contribute effectively for this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, another issue which is very critical, and we would like the Government to look into it, is the issue of corruption. The other day, documents were tabled in this House accusing a Minister of being involved in corruption as far as cement is concerned. They have even gone further and sacked the Managing Director for exposing that scam. The Government needs to critically look at itself in the mirror. Look at the issue of Artur brothers. That is an issue of security. Every Kenyan knows what happened. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is sad that Kenyans are abused by foreigners and the Government sits back. Even the Minister of State for Administration and National Security was told to shut up by foreigners, and he did so! He never did anything! When he appeared before the Commission yesterday, he did not tell Kenyans what those fellows told him. It is a shame! As we go for recess, the Government needs to re-assess itself critically, concerning the image of this nation. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you heard Mr. Poghisio say that animals from Kenya were taken by the Government and given to Ugandans. The Government's main responsibility is to safeguard our safety and property. It is a shame that we take animals from the poor Pokots and give them to Ugandans. I have heard my sister, Prof. Maathai, lamenting - and this is her Government - that it has done this or that! Why did she quit? If you look critically at what this Government has done, it is very shameful. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister for Finance stood here and issued instructions to Ministers to return Government vehicles, so that they could be used for security purposes. As I speak now, not a single Minister has released his or her vehicle to the pool, so that the Government could redeploy them. When I made my maiden speech, I said that it is difficult to play a guitar to a camel, because it will never sing. We have been singing about this Government for a long time, and it cannot move. They have even abandoned their party! They now have different parties. With those few remarks, I support."
