    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, look at our domestic debts today, look at our external debts, if we are not careful, this country is on a brink of economic collapse. I dare say - and I want to be challenged on this - we have become a country of borrowers, we have become a country of net importers. What happened to our primary industries? What happened to Kenya as the leading exporting country? It is simply because we have changed everything else and from morning to evening, we are engaged in unending political squabbles. This is not the image we want our youngsters to inherit from us. You have seen Kenya being the peace centre. As a peace making nation, we have engaged and ensured that warring communities within our neighbours have come together and formed stable nations. I want to appreciate the sacrifices made by the people of Kenya for the sake of the South Sudan and Northern Sudan. It is something that we have nurtured through the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. Why should we not be the first country to benefit from investment opportunities in Southern Sudan? Why are we the last to tarmac the road from Lokichogio to Juba? Why do we have to struggle today to use Kampala when the distance is shorter here? It is not a lost opportunity. It is simply because we have given politics the centre stage instead of concentrating on economic development."
