    "content": "The next item I want to speak about is the public debt. As a Committee, we caution the Government that even as we continue borrowing from outside and internally, let us bear in mind that the basic principles of public debt management demand that you need to balance inter- generational interests in terms of public borrowing so that we do not overburden future generations with paying the debts which we are taking today. Even though every time the National Treasury keeps on saying that we are within the international indicators, it is important that we bear in mind that Kenya is a growing country and we must take care of our future generations. We do not want to overburden our children with paying loans which we took and then they will be unable to move as a country in future. It is important as a House that we always protect the future generations by making sure that we control our public borrowing. Last, but not least, is the issue of corruption. I support my Chairman. It is time we said no to corruption. For any MDA seen to be corrupt, we must as a House reduce the resources allocated to it. This year we have started with the National Youth Service. Very soon, the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) and the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) will follow. Anybody confirmed to be corrupt should not have resources appropriated to them by this House. That is the message we want to send. With those remarks, I beg to second."
