"content": "cases are in court, or have been challenged, are because the officers who have been assigned the duty, or the responsibility of doing an evaluation that is truthful and is in the best interests of this country are not doing what they are supposed to do. They sit down and collude among themselves to ensure that they make decisions that only benefit themselves and not Kenyans at large. These people must be held accountable. If we are going to move this country forward, this is not only important, it is absolutely necessary that those who have been charged with the responsibility of providing service to Kenyans in this country do so and do so honestly; they should have a Bill on values; if they have not been brought up to have the right attitude in order to give the necessary service to this country--- Many Kenyans have a lot of hope in us as parliamentarians; in order for us to create Bills, legislate and oversee to ensure that services get to Kenyans, and get to them in a timely manner, and are affordable we should try and get rid of corruption that has bedeviled this country for many years. I support this particular Bill. I am hoping that we will have an amendment that will ensure that services are delivered, and that those who do not do so and misuse the positions that they have been given in order for them to deliver services, are not only held accountable but are jailed for misusing their positions and the resources of this country. When you look at it, many projects that have been started are using taxpayers’ money. This is not free money. This is money that you, I and the rest of Kenyans work hard for. It is not money that is given to us freely. It must be repaid; if it going to be repaid it means that those who have been given the privilege--- It is a privilege to serve Kenyans; that is the meaning of public service. It behooves every person who has been given the opportunity to serve Kenyans to do so in a manner that is transparent and in the interests of Kenyans in this country. I support."
