    "content": "Exactly, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Allow me to give my ideas and I am going to cite examples of countries which have developed by trashing these ideas. China, in 1979, was a very poor country. Deng Xiaoping assumed power and his first idea was to trash away these ideas of fettle business. One of the ideas that fettle business includes labour issues. You see the labour laws that we enacted the other day where we provide a minimum wage and so forth. Those ideas make business become very expensive. These are ideas for the rich and not poor people. I am going to cite other examples which retard development. Hon. Deputy Speaker, in Rift Valley, already there are people who are objecting that water should not be taken from some parts of Rift Valley to Nakuru Town. It is as if people do not know there is no country that has ever developed without urbanization. We need that water to come from those regions, take it to town and ensure that we accelerate the rate of urbanization. That way, the living standards of our people will improve. The environmentalists, whose ideas are captured here, make us retard. Oppose this idea and make our country progress because these are ideas of rich people and some white men out there. We need business to provide full employment. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I oppose"
