    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am impressed by the kind of visitors you have had in your Gallery. I want to ask them to send our greetings to the heads of states of Tanzania and Senegal. Due to the issue of governance, the Head of State of Senegal allowed the President elect of Gambia to be sworn into office from Senegal and in the process averted a crisis that could have deteriorated into genocide. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want them to send my greetings to the Head of State of Tanzania because of the concerted effort that he is leading in the fight against corruption. On the issue of Members of the delegation from the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF), I would like to urge them to consider before making a decision of giving money to African countries the input of the national Parliaments. If they were doing that, maybe we would not be where we are. For example, in a period of four short years, the Jubilee government has over borrowed to the extent that we are now running into a debt of over Kshs3 trillion. In conclusion, Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I warn other African leaders who do not want presidents elect to be sworn in that we now know a new standard. Should anybody joke in Kenya, we shall go and be sworn in from Tanzania this year."
