    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to join my colleagues in expressing the thanks of the Senate on the exposition of the public policy contained in the address by the President to Parliament. The President’s speech was balanced and realistic. We have to look at the areas he addressed. He clearly stated that the main gain Kenyans made in enacting the new Constitution was devolution. He stated the steps we have taken since 2013, the work done by the Eleventh Parliament which I had the privilege of being in, and the challenges we are facing. The President was candid that corruption is the main challenge we are facing when it comes to even implementing the Constitution and achieving our national values. He even went ahead to say that it has to be fought from many angles even as far as starting inculcating these values of integrity in our school children. It has reached a point that Kenyans do not care where you get your wealth but they respect you when you are wealthy. That is why there was a time a survey was conducted and a young Kenyan was asked if he would mind getting his riches through corruption. He said that so long as he will be rich he does not mind. That is the state of mind we have as Kenyans. So long as that is in us, then we have a long way to go The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
