    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have taken your advice. I am very relaxed. I am saying that corruption is bringing down this country to its knees when, in fact, the people who need this money, like orphans, whose education and health should be paid for, are suffering when other people are busy amassing wealth for themselves at the expense of everybody else. That is, really, an emotional issue. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, one only needs to go to Kibera or Kangemi or Kariobangi and see how the people live there to appreciate what I am saying. The Goldenberg Scandal cost this country so many billions of shillings, and adversely affected the economy in terms of the bank interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates that escalated. Factories had to close down because the bank interest rates shot up from 12 per cent to 42 per cent. In such scenario, you wonder whether you are living in a country of your own or in a foreign land where the rich can always pillage and loot the economy of the people when you have offered to take care of it. With those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion."
