    "content": "Before I conclude, I want to believe that it is time for this country or the President to declare corruption a national disaster. It is a pity that every headline of newspapers you buy in this country today talks about corruption. The country is losing billions. This country is losing a lot of resources into people’s pockets. I am not certain that our institutions have capacity to handle corruption as we see it on a day to day basis. That is why I would like to urge the President to declare corruption a national disaster, so that all of us can focus on the fight against it. We have pledges that the President made during campaigns and programmes that we expect to run. We pass so many Motions in this House but nothing is implemented because of budget constrains. We lose billions every year. Thirty per cent of our GDP is lost in corruption. We urge the President to declare corruption a national disaster, so that this Parliament, every Government institution and Kenyans can stand and speak against this vice."
