    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I came here because this matter is weighty. It goes beyond mere mistreatment of our workers. The issue of the Chinese in this world is not a new one. Malaysia developed when Dr. Mahat took power and actually chased them out. That is the time Malaysia took the route of development. Madam Temporary Speaker, before I come to the mistreatment of our workers, this country has youth who are seeking employment which, to me, is a time bomb. Anybody who comes here with prisoners from his country so that our children cannot get employment, no matter the financial benefit, that should be set aside. We want Kenya to have a social benefit. Sessional Paper No.10, which was authored by the late Tom Mboya and Hon. Mwai Kibaki as his Assistant Minister, was signed by the late Mzee Kenyatta in 1965. During that time, I was in school. If people read it, they will see the policies that our forefathers set for the development of this country. One of them was Kenya first. If Kenya wants to remain as Kenya, the issue of the Chinese needs to be looked into. Anybody giving us money so that he can bring his prisoners here to work as cooks and bring goods from his country duty-free should not be welcomed. We need people who will come, develop Kenya and bring expertise that we do not have while using locally available Kenyan expertise.
