    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Motion, which is very important for this country. The cancer that is killing this country is corruption. Today, Kenya is ranked where it is among the nations of the world because of corruption. It should have done better than this, if it was not for corruption. So, this is a monster that we need to deal with as a country. In this country, corruption started at Independence. It did not begin today or yesterday. We have been living with a bit of it for the past 50 years. It is high time we came together and ended corruption. I feel that this Government is going to have a tall order in fighting corruption. It consists mainly of digital people, who are grandsons of corruption. These are people who have been weaned on corruption, and I do not see them fighting corruption. When you are brought up in a corrupt way, that is the food that you know and you do not know any other thing. I have heard people talk about the Makueni issue as one riddled with corruption. Are you aware that the biggest fraud in this country happened on 4th March, 2013? This was when this country spent over Kshs10 billion of the taxpayers’ money to buy gadgets in the name of BVRs and identification equipment and they all failed in the first one hour of the elections. I do not know whether it was by design or default. I believe it was by design, so that failure could assist some of the people who find themselves now in offices. There is no way this country can spend over Kshs10 billion for nothing. Thika Road, the only Super Highway in Eastern and Central Africa, cost Kshs30 billion to build. We spent Kshs10 billion on the BVRs and the identification gadgets, a third of the money that was spent on the Thika Super Highway. So, the biggest fraudsters in this country are found at the IEBC. That is why yesterday they stopped somebody from contesting when she is legitimately registered, has a voter’s card in her pocket; she also had duly processed documents from the IEBC; they came out on television at 2.00 p.m. and told the people that she was not a registered voter."
