    "content": "I come from the North Rift, where people depend on maize to raise money for school fees and meet other costs of living. If the situation does not improve, we will ask farmers to uproot the maize crop on their farms and undertake other activities; even if it means shifting to dairy farming. As I finish, I want to reiterate my first point which is that we need to seriously fight corruption. I heard Hon. Chepkong’a asking for a reduction of the publication period for the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (Amendment) Bill from 14 to five days. We want to see those who were mentioned in the list of corruption suspects prosecuted, now that the 60 days are over. There were Cabinet Secretaries (CSs), Principal Secretaries (PSs) and so many other officers who were mentioned in that list. Those who were found to have committed offences should be taken to court. We want those who did not commit any offence to come back to their offices and offer services to Kenyans. The approach the Government used at that time was a populist approach. We want to see a serious fight against corruption. I support the Appropriation Bill, 2015. Thank you."
