    "content": "but rather a question of co-ordination failure. Our institutions are not properly co- ordinated; they are easily corrupted; even if you provided whatever sums of money, I think it will disappear through a gravy train. Hon. Deputy Speaker, as we speak, I do not know whether we are also asking ourselves whether the short intervention that we had of counseling and taking care of the victims worked. The other thing is: What are the plans to reinstate the mall and to compensate our businessmen who had invested there, so that we do not kill their entrepreneurial spirit? This is because without security it is going to be very difficult for Kenyans of goodwill, or Kenyans who are ambitious, to actually invest heavily, so that we can create jobs for Kenyans. Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you look at the basic security of our country, leave alone what you may call national security; Kenyans are at the mercy of the police. Corruption has made it very difficult to get simple justice achieved. You have communities being told, for example, that they need to fuel the car at the local police station. You have people being told that they need to pay certain police officers, so that they can provide security. I think we need to ask ourselves whether really corruption, as it is, is robbing us of our future. In my opinion, it is doing so."
