    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, another car KCC 433Q and KBX 279W towed trailers carrying 28,000 kilogrammes of maize. What a joke? These people, like any scandal in Kenya, whether it is the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF), National Youth Service (NYS), whether it is Kabura, are heroes. I am surprised Jeff Koinange Live (JKL Live) has not called these maize farmers and these criminals into his show to showcase their prowess in stealing because they are thieves. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, do you know what is going to happen? Jasmine Revolution was caused by young man who could not get a job in Tunisia when he burned himself to death and caused a revolution there which was the Arab Spring. We are this close to some of these things. The country is reeling in debt. You and I are paying dearly for the national debt, taxes and fuel tax. On top of that, when one plants they cannot make money. Are you telling everybody to steal? Students are committing suicide all over the place. A student was sent to go and buy a barbed wire in Makueni County and he hang himself. People have lost hope. I ask the question again: Are we just going to be talking? Who is going to save this country? One day, you Senators will not sleep at home. You will find a tree where you can hide because these people will be in our homes. I feel sad for this country, that is happening when we are here. I wish we were not here; we were reading in the newspapers, just like everybody else. Who will implement these decisions? The same Government where these Cabinet Secretaries sit? It is a joke. This Kenya is a joke and this Government is even a worse joke. I support."
