"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, what Hon. Sakaja has done is commendable. For a long time, we have been even embarrassed to accept that in Kenya, Kenyans should come first. When we were doing the National Construction Authority Act, one of the most embarrassing moments that I have had is when a senior Government official called me in the middle of the night to tell me that if we did what Hon. Sakaja is trying to do, we were going to chase away foreigners from Kenya. Honestly, I felt so ashamed. Through what we did jointly with Hon. Sakaja, we are now reaffirming that this country is for the people of Kenya. The people of Kenya must do business without being embarrassed that they are working in their country. This is the first place where they have a duty as given by God to earn a living. There is nothing to be embarrassed about."
