    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, somebody said here and I agree with him that we are not yet out of the woods. The country has a problem because of over reliance on imports. We know that we import things that we should not be importing in this country. We import things like beans and medicine. I know, for sure, we have capability of manufacturing medicine. We have a lot of natural resources and raw materials. We do not need to import things like spare parts when we have Numerical Machines at the Kenya Railways. So, if we do not change the way of managing our economy, I am afraid, we shall not get out of this problem any time soon. So, these are the things which contributed to the collapse of the shillings. I have said many times here, the crumbling of the shilling has not happened for the first time in this country. It has happened before. When it happened we did not go for the throat of the Governor of the time. We managed it and he is now alive. We have had the crumbling of the Indian Rupee. We have had also crumbling of the South African Rand. People of those countries did not go for throats of their Governors."
