    "content": "There is nothing national security about buying boots for our forces! We want to see that when we buy boots, those boots are of the right quality and we are getting value for money. That is the reason why we are dissecting it. Actually, this country is devolving funds and expenditure so that there is micro management in the sense that people are able to see where every penny goes. When it is a lot of it together, it is very easy for these things to go the wrong way. That is why I am inclined to believe that in excess of 70 per cent of our national Budget that is allocated for development projects by the Central Government is lost to corruption. Look at the CDF, for example. We want to have the same thing. We want people to see how much we give to the Kenya Navy. What value do we get for what we give them? We are not a country that will go to war anywhere. We are a Third World country that wants to spend as much as possible and the least amount of money on defence because we do not have a problem with any of our neighbours. But nonetheless, we want to make sure that the money that is allocated to it is put to proper use."
