    "content": "people down and erase this chapter completely from our country. Corruption kills development; corruption kills our people; corruption erodes the dignity of our country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the President also talked about the economic growth now averaging at over 5.6 per cent in the last five years. This is an economy where a country is experiencing drought and its people are dying, yet we are saying that the economy is growing. Yes, I am encouraged to hear that the economy is growing; but is it true that it is growing evenly across the country? If the economy is growing, is it affecting all the people in the country positively? I reserve my comments. I applaud the Government for growing the country‟s economy. However, it is high time that the country witnessed evenly distributed economic growth across the country. We have people dying as a result of drought, yet some people say that they have supplied food and other services to the Kenyans who are dying. Who, then, are these people who are said to be dying? I thank the President because the economy has grown; but let it grow evenly."
