    "content": "Hon. Speaker, as I conclude, it is also said that choices, and not circumstances, will determine our success. As a country, we need to ask ourselves why, compared to countries which attained their independence at the same time as Kenya or even later than Kenya, we are not doing as well. I have in mind countries like Singapore, which attained their independence almost at the same time as Kenyan. Today, the GDP per capita in Singapore is more than 100 times the GDP per capital in Kenya. Nearby is the United Arab Emirates, a desert country. Other than oil, she basically has nothing. But the choices that they made have made that country great. As I conclude, I would wish that, we, and the people we represent here, should embrace that universal truth. The truth is that no more effort is required to aim high in life to demand abundance and prosperity than is required to accept misery and poverty. Kenyans must realise that demanding abundance and prosperity in our country would require almost the same amount of effort to accept misery and poverty. It is our duty, as leaders, to lead from the front in helping our people to demand abundance and prosperity because that is what Kenya deserves. With those remarks, I support."
