    "content": "Therefore, you cannot put a semi-illiterate man from the streets to oversee that Fund. This person and that Namuye need to be in prison. They do not even need sentencing. I am not in agreement with the recommendation that they be investigated. What is there to investigate? Jail them. The Jubilee Government’ manifesto looked good. I remember one day I was sitting in my House in Gem and I looked at the youth propositions by the Uhuruto campaign and I thought they were making sense. What have they done to the youth? They have instead presided over the theft of the trust of the youth. You cannot rape the trust of the youth and let us not talk about it. That is what the Government has done. The issue of NYS is not different. It is all about job creation. I asked on this Floor after they had put up such a rosy manifesto, that the first thing you do as somebody who is willing to run a Government is to do an employment policy so that it fits in. Public funds and employment go together. The moment I saw that was never done, I knew we were heading to the ditch or the gallows. In this country, if it is not Eurobond, it is the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) or the NYS. Where will we stop? I knew the day I saw the President and his deputy launch the Naivasha wing of the SGR on a Sunday that something was suspect. Now it turns out it was decided. Without naming names that I cannot prove, I know there are middle level officers in the Government who are benefiting from that."
