    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister is the Deputy Leader of Government Business. I will address all my problems to the Cabinet through her, because she represents the Government here. So, I am quite in order. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, President Kibaki and his Government have good intentions, but the Civil Service he inherited from KANU has been a let-down to his Government. This Government is capable of delivering. So far, it has done a lot. However, the Kibaki administration has inherited very corrupt civil servants from the previous administration, who have trained them how to be corrupt. The new entrants into the system now want to sustain the corrupt practices. For that reason, we might not go very far. Therefore, my appeal to the President and his Cabinet is that, if they really have Kenyans' interests at heart, they should move fast and get rid of the corrupt persons from the Civil Service. We know them. If you come to Teso District, I will point out to you the corrupt Government officers. Why would you want to retain such people in the system? Why would you want to bring the Government to shame for nothing, and yet you can get rid of them from the Civil Service? So, a lot of restructuring has to be done in the Civil Service. I am very happy that senior civil servants are now signing performance contracts. That is a step forward. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
