    "content": "Hon. Speaker, it is true that corruption in this country is deep-rooted into our political system. It is good that His Excellency the President tried to tackle it head on. However, one gets a feeling that the President is being let down by the people around him, because he seems to know exactly what to do about corruption, but one wonders why this go-top, go-stop. It is also good to mention the President‟s directive that those who have been caught up in corruption allegations should step aside; that this is not the first time that people are stepping aside because of corruption allegations made against them in this country. Hon. Members will recall that during the nusu-mkate regime of His Excellency Mwai Kibaki and the Right Hon. Prime Minister Raila Odinga, people stepped aside but they eventually went back to office much happier and continued with their jobs. We hope that this is not going to happen again. We know that corruption is a cancer in this country. His Excellency the President went through all this and we hope that this time around, it will be for real."
