    "content": "But let me thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I only want to say one thing in three minutes. Hon. Members of this august House, corruption is a serious matter. I know we can laugh when we are talking about it. But Kenyans are dying and the name of this country has gone down. Whenever there are corruption indices being mentioned internationally, we come very high on the list. This is something we must talk about seriously. Our health services and education systems could be much better than they are. Hon. Deputy Speaker, many of us here went to good schools and got good Government health services because we could afford it. I can tell you, I know that if we got rid of corruption, we can offer free medical services and free education. So, please, let us be serious on this matter and deal with corruption as it should be. It is not only Goldenberg, if you look at all areas of Government, I dare say, even here in Parliament, we find this cancer and yet we take it very lightly. It is collusion, like the Goldenberg included literally everybody. Hon. Deputy Speaker, at Independence, we had three enemies; poverty, ignorance and disease; now we have four, including corruption."
