    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute on these Reports by the President. It was a very good indication of what is happening in the country. But it is a bit unfortunate in our country that for so many years we have been dealing with the same issues. There are those few challenges. For example, if you talk of the security of this country, corruption and tribalism, those are the challenges that we need to sit down as a country and see how we can solve them. On security, I think there is a very good approach. The integrated approach to security in this country will go a long way to solve the problem. Then there is the increase in the number of security officers and their condition of work. We also have a lot of patrol vehicles that are doing us good service. On corruption, I think the Government has done a good job; for example, by having a multiagency approach towards corruption and introducing asset recovery system where if somebody is corruptly using money to defend the case, then the asset is held. That way, it reduces the ability of the person to litigate. I think the correct approach should have been, if we entrench the way we are using e-procurement and e-governance, it will go a long to solve this problem of corruption. Like the way we are using M-PESA in business where the contact between the officer and Kenyans will be reduced, I think that will reduce corruption in this country.
