    "content": " Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think that Sen. Pareno was here when they threw so many questions to the Majority side and I am just responding to the questions as raised. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is a shame; Safaricom is one of the best companies to be ever registered in this country. The Safaricom Mpesa concept is a miracle all over the world and it is being copied by so many countries. Safaricom has won so many awards for this innovation. Safaricom is the face of our Republic when it comes to business. I feel extremely sad when our colleagues confidently negatively profile a company such as Safaricom in public yet they are beneficiaries of Safaricom’s pay bill numbers. They even use Safaricom lines to make phone calls yet they can confidently go publicly to negatively profile such a company, which has contributed immensely to our country; employed so many of our youths and exported so much branding? Why would you seek for a position of leadership if you blame Safaricom and a French company? Why would you seek for a position of leadership yet you do not like the Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) and this country? Why would you want to be a leader of a country when you do not like its economy, security and the beauty and you do not want to live in it? I want to persuade the NASA team that it is time they began to retrace their first love for this country. They should begin to imagine a country where there is a loser and a winner. They must accept that our country must move forward. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is genuine fear going round the country. I was speaking to one business person who told me that these people mention a company like Safaricom with the hope that the company will get scared. When that happens, they send their emissaries to tell them to give them something for campaigns if they want them to keep quiet."
