    "content": "on educating boys and the youth so that they access the Fund and use it wisely. If the Fund is not used properly and if the issue of corruption is not taken care of, we will pass very many policies but the problems will persist. Kenya is being ranked as moving into the middle class economy. To me, I do not see that middle class economy and yet I am a Member of Parliament. If I cannot feel it, will the person in the village feel that Kenya is now in the middle class economy? Is it just left for a few individuals who have access to excess funds when they want? Is that why they say Kenya has moved or is moving towards middle class economy? Middle class economy must be felt at the grassroots level by somebody like me and everybody else. That is when I can stand and say that Kenya is truly moving from a Third World country or a developing world to the middle class economy. I believe that the policies are good. We are going to pass them but if we do not implement them and deal with the issues of poverty and corruption, we will not be doing a lot of service to this nation. We will just be sitting here contributing and passing policies, but not adding value to our nation and people. With those remarks, I thank you very much. I support the Policy Paper."
