    "content": "One issue that the President talked about and which has been talked about by everyone is corruption. The resilient economy has tolerated corruption for many years. This has denied Kenyans critical opportunities to access quality services and life. We are very sure that with the firm address of corruption, aspects in the labour sector of job loss can be safeguarded because salary cuts are a reality. An economy that cannot give promise of employment to the youths of its citizenship shall be real. Kenya has one of the highest unemployment rates. Therefore, the mention and the fight against corruption in the President’s Speech is one element that has come out as a big problem in this country. We cannot talk about it year in, year out. This nation, more than ever before, requires a strong legal framework to confront corruption. The big fish must be prosecuted. We must have very strong laws and administrative systems to deal with corruption permanently. We do not think that the culture of stepping aside is one of the best methods of dealing with corruption. We would like to see those involved in corruption and the State officers serving in Government dealt with through stiff approaches. We would like to see our judicial system enabled through appropriate laws. We hope that this aspect of corruption is a matter the President and his Government will deal with decisively. Parliament has the ability to put in place the correct legal measures to deal with it."
