    "content": "As for public money that is meant for development and is corruptly misdirected to a few people’s pockets, it creates instability in the country. There is a small group of people who get very rich at the expense of the poor mwananchi, who was meant to be served by that money. Today there are hospitals, but they have no drugs because of corruption. There are no roads. People cannot put food on their tables. Parents from constituencies that we represent cannot take their children to secondary schools because of corruption. We must fight this vice by all means and every Kenyan should support these amendments and the Bill, so that corruption will be a thing of the past. Kenya has been ranked as one of the most corrupt countries in the world. I do not know whether it is true - but it must be true! That is because rankings have shown that Kenya, Nigeria and a few other countries are on top of the list and yet, Kenya is a very religious country. About 80 per cent of the population is Christian and 20 per cent Muslim. It is like everybody is religious. That is the case and yet, we are ranked among the most corrupt countries in the world. This should not be allowed. When the President came here and gave a very good speech, we all gave him a standing ovation. This was because, for the first time, we saw an attempt by the President to lead the fight against corruption from the front. That is why both sides across the political divide--- We will support anybody, whether they are the Opposition leaders or the President, who stands firm to fight corruption and there is no kind of political war being waged against some people who do not ascribe to a political position."
