    "content": "It is difficult to articulate what we want to say. I want to talk about corruption. Corruption is what is pulling down this country. As a country, we are carrying a lot of weight. Thirty per cent of the resources in this country go to corruption; 30 per cent to the national Government and 30 per cent to the county government so, where is development? That is why our women are still carrying water on their backs. Most of our schools lack shelter because we are not able to put up adequate infrastructure. Over his two years as the President of the Republic of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta has demonstrated his statesmanship. Some of us are talking about the President‟s Speech and the EACC Report on the Floor of the House. The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission must stand firm. If they fail, Kenya is going to fail and there are no two ways about it. On the issue of those who have been mentioned be it Cabinet Secretaries, governors and other public officers, they must step aside. There should not be any side shows because from where we sit, if the President of the Republic of Kenya can go to the ICC to clear his name, who else is above the President in this country for them not to clear their names? On Security, the appointment of hon. Nkaissery gave relief to this country. Still there is continued violation of the Kenyan border by militias across border. They are attacking villages in places like Somalia and Dambala Fachana in Marsabit County. We want the Government to be accountable for its people and property."
