    "content": "the idea in this Motion must be in law so that the NCA should not be a conveyer belt for what has been the ‘fourth republic of Kenya.’ This is the corrupt state called Kenya, which has no independence, no person or governor and it is formless. That is the avenue that the foreign contractors have used. Lastly, Madam Temporary Speaker, even if we were to license foreign contractors – because we cannot divorce ourselves from the global village we are in – we must make it very stringent for them to operate in Kenya. We must make it difficult, and even then, we must tell them that they must return to this country what Sen. Kasanga ably put as the transfer of skills. They must create real employment and not casual labour which can be created by county governments. We need expertise; we want to see people like the Kenyan gentleman I met in Japan, who we can take pride in. We do not want to see Chinese, Japanese, British or any other people who, at the end of the day, take off and there is no benefit of having to register those people for anything that we do. We must take pride in this country by saying that we must sell Kenya to Kenyans. I do not know what happened to Brand Kenya, but we must wake them up from their deep slumber. This is one of those issues that Brand Kenya should be doing, other than just selling Maasai Mara, Mombasa beach, Zanzibar and those other things. Thank you. I beg to support."
