    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, corruption is our biggest problem. We do not need to repeat this one because it was said to entire country from top to down. Anybody who had ears and those who were alive heard what President Obama said. However, he appreciated one thing. We have 42 tribes in this country. In effect, we are 42 free states. Therefore, Kenya has 42 states. Unless we deal with those states properly and use our divergent cultures appropriately, we will continue to have this problem for ever. Every tribe defends its own interests. When that viral appeal disappears from us, we shall have done quite a lot. Insecurity in this country is borne out of corruption. There is nothing that you can say in this country without referring to corruption as a major calamity. I do not know who will come to rehabilitate people or give them the best medicine to remove this virus called corruption in the Kenyan mind. Whether one is in the Opposition, the Government or the civil service, he or she is a son or daughter of corrupt men and women. Therefore, it is a big shame. In 2002, I wrote about corruption. It is a norm in our society and it would be difficult for anyone to leave it. It is the way things are. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you. I repeat that we should not just sing about the coming of President Obama. He came to tell us what we know. I did not hear anything new that he said. It is something that has been said by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, you and I. Where have we gone? Are we waiting for another leader, for example, the Prime Minister of Great Britain to come so that we can act?"
