    "content": "and that money went to people’s pockets, I think this country is going to the dogs. When I saw the five-point vision programme for the NYS, it was well intended. The vision had five issues that they wanted to do. There was the paramilitary training and service regimentation, national service youth and socialisation, social transformation and vocational training, enterprise and youth economy and bankable institutional architecture. So, that five-point vision was well intended. If implemented, I think we could have turned around this country. However, taking the money to other purposes that were never intended is what caused what we are now talking about at the NYS. I remember we had boys doing the training in NYS. They could ask me: “ Mheshimiwa, we are suffering. We have no food. Please send me something small.” Yet, when we were doing the investigation, you could see firms that were paid millions of shilling running into Kshs300 million or Kshs400 million for supply of food. But not even a particle was received in those training camps, thus causing our children to suffer and make people to think that the Government has no money. Yet, the allocations were there. So, I do not know what will happen to Kenyans. Patriotism is no more. Today, the National Super Alliance (NASA) is fighting to take over the next Government. They are not moving in there to come and help this country. They will say: “This is our time to eat.” When are we going to change and say that we want to render services to our people?"
