    "content": "because they never had an economic opportunity, they are asked to pay Kshs2000 to the Credit Reference Bureau (CRB). Madam Temporary Speaker, that is absurd and hypocritical for a Government that wants to create jobs. Today, we are talking about the Government borrowing Kshs480 billion to build a road upstairs of Mombasa Road, from Sen. Faki’s County to Nairobi. If that money was channeled to all our counties to industrialize so that people can produce, we will be talking. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I conclude, less than 38 years ago, China was poorer than most of the countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. What did they do? Why are we not putting our minds to what is it that is done to make a country industrialized? Our focus is in the wrong place and we are putting money in the wrong places. The more we build this hardware, for example, roads, we should remember that it took less than one hour for the railway in Kibera to be uprooted by young people who were frustrated. Let us work on the software of this country. The software and the engine that will drive our country is the young people of Kenya. Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank Sen. Mwaura for this Petition."
