    "content": "that crop. Now that we passed the Report on miraa, I believe that the recommendations will be followed. We will then make decisions from that point. With regard to issues that are facing the country at the moment, some of them could be addressed through this Budget. When people talk about national dialogue, it is not enough just to talk! Rather, it is enough to come up with proposals. That should not be done just to keep individuals relevant, but for the purpose of taking this country forward. There is nothing that has changed in this country for the last one year. You cannot, for example, say that tribalism and corruption have increased. Even if that was the case, what are we proposing? Why has it not been proposed? We also need to recommend to the relevant institutions and then come up with a Motion. Here in Kenya, people like talking and doing very little. At the end of the day, nothing is done. I believe that we should remove some of the hurdles that stand in the way of some of these good proposals. For example, there are sections of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act that stifle the process of investment. As we allocate funds for investment, we should also appreciate that there are processes that make investments in this country hard. We also need to bring legislation that will make corruption more expensive so that those who are involved in it can see it is less attractive. That way, we will move this country forward. I support this Motion."
