    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You are the fourth person to be on the Chair and I have been waiting. So, I do not want to squander my three minutes. I want to go straight to my points and thank my Naivasha people and, more so, the Naivasha/Gilgil people because that is the new constituency. I want to thank you all hon. Members because you have come and visited Naivasha many times for various reasons. I want to thank the Ministers for their support in making Naivasha a truly touristic town. I want to thank, particularly, the Prime Minister for going all the way to Europe and securing about Kshs11 billion to clean up Lake Naivasha. I want to thank the President of the Republic of Kenya and, more specifically, now the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs because of what he has done. I want to summarize that in about three words. He has demystified the Vice-Presidency. We knew them. We knew the Vice-Presidents as tyrants. We knew them as people who would bash you. We knew them as people who belong to another planet. But he has been able to come down as part of us and even took Mututho with him all the way to Malaysia. I had a chance to meet not only the President of Malaysia, but also the two former Presidents of that country. I will one time share what I found out there. On the sideshows, I must share this with your indulgence. One of them said: “What is ailing Kenya is bad table manners in development.” Every time we meet with foreigners, we talk about the anti-corruption body and those kind of things. Who wants to come and do business with us? Malaysia has lived with 11 per cent corruption and they have been able to sort themselves out so that there is no unemployment."
