    "content": "their county and ethnicity. People who are in appointed positions believe that they have been appointed to make money and not to serve the people. In some areas of this country, if you are appointed to a very senior position, especially where you disburse resources and you retire while not very rich, people will say you are a fool. You were in that position for so long but you never made money. That means our culture encourages corruption. Unless we kill corruption and ethnicity, this country cannot move to the next level. Those are two issues. The other thing is that this Government has embarked on infrastructure development. No country can develop until and unless they develop their infrastructure to high standards. This is so that when going to Narok, you do not stay at Mai Mahiu for two days simply because there are no alternative routes of getting to Narok after the crack on the ground. When going to Nyeri you cannot be late simply because there is a traffic jam on Thika Highway. Thirdly, the most important issue to Kenyans today is unemployment. Our youth are graduating from universities, colleges and schools and they do not expect to get any job. It is very discouraging and distressing. We must handle unemployment. We must create jobs. Every year, when we consider the Budget, it must state how many jobs will be created in the budget of that year. That is what happens in developed countries. To do that, we must look at our agriculture, industrialisation and value addition. If we do not do that, this country will not develop. Let us not reinvent the wheel. Take the example of Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, China and Brazil. Those are countries which have moved from the Third World to the First World. We will also move to the First World where we will get good healthcare, jobs, stay in good houses and get food security. With those few remarks, I beg to commend the President."
