    "content": "We would give them a slap on the wrist, pay them Kshs400 million, tell them that we will never give them another contract and ask them to go home. That should not be the case. They should be blacklisted for collecting money from the public coffers and not performing. There should be no excuse. This country has got one of the best technical people. Can I surprise you, Madam Temporary Speaker? I met a young man in Japan who comes from your county. He left Kenya and went to Japan to study architecture at the age of 18. He is now 37 years old, he has become a Japanese national and he is not only an architect, but he is also in charge of disaster management in Tokyo, Japan. Why are we talking about the lack of expertise? I have met many young men who went to Japan on scholarships and they are now technical people. Therefore, it is not for the lack of expertise that we are registering foreign contractors, but because, for some strange reasons, this has become an avenue for kickbacks. Sen. Kasanga is being her usual self; nice and polite. This has become an avenue for people to get 10 percent commissions, because these people are coming with finances. They have free money, which they are dropping here like manna from heaven. They are actually doing it as if money is running out of fashion. They have money to construct roads quickly. That is why, I must laud the President of this Republic, His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta. May God give him wisdom and age for cancelling new projects, because he understood the problem."
