    "content": "contribute peacekeeping troops. We, therefore, can very well, understand some of the Somalis from Somalia when they look at our forces as occupational forces. I have had a personal privilege of visiting the Ambassador of the USA in Kenya, Mr. Godec, in his office. I told him that our troops must be supported to come out of Somalia and deployed to our borders. If President Obama supports that our troops continue being in Somalia, then, he will be falling short of the glory of patriotism for not remembering home and failing to respect the Geneva Convention. Madam Temporary Speaker, we must tell President Obama that our number one problem is corruption. If President Uhuru will not tell him, may whoever meets him tell him that corruption is right at the heart of the Presidency; a Presidency that has successfully managed to convert the National Assembly of this nation into a department in the Office of the President. The National Assembly is now like a department that is commanded to disband the institution of fighting corruption; the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC). It is commanded to whittle down the independence and powers of the Office of the Auditor-General. These are institutions that are paramount in fighting corruption. Madam Temporary Speaker, when I heard people say that the President of the USA might not greet our Deputy President, how I wish they could also say that he would refuse to sit on the same dais with some of the Cabinet Secretaries of the Jubilee Government who are thieves. We would like him to be told the truth about impunity in this country."
