    "content": "can live and the rest have nothing to eat? We must find ways of creating wealth. We must find ways of helping and sustaining our economy. We must find ways of generating income. A country is like a public or private enterprise. We must know how to make money for this country. We need to know how to generate income and look for ways of improving the lives of our people. The old way of doing things cannot work. We now have a devolved system and it is a money guzzler. A lot of money is being taken up to employ people and yet there is no money for development. Money meant for development is now used to pay people salaries and to buy fuel. Very soon we are going to grind to a halt. That is why a sector like tourism which ought to have improved a long time ago has instead been dwindling. Time has come for a paradigm shift. Time has come for a change. Time has come for us to look at the interests of the common man, that is, the small-scale farmer. After all, 80 per cent of Kenyans live on agriculture. So, that is a big economy which Kenyans would rely on. With those remarks, I beg to support this Motion."
