    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. First, I support the President’s State of the Nation Address. It was a well- balanced Address. On that particular day, the President rose to be a Statesman. I wish to comment on the issue of corruption. Corruption in Kenya is a cancer. It is a disease eating the nation. In the President’s words, we all should have moral re-awakening. We should stop being hypocrites in this country, pointing fingers and appreciate that fighting corruption begins with us. What we need in this country is not hauling all Cabinet Secretaries to jail, jailing the entire political class but a change in the moral psyche in the country entirely. Right in the village, small children will not get you anything in the shop unless you offer to buy them sweets. That is the beginning of corruption. Corruption cases in this country as the President said should be dealt with expeditiously and determined at the shortest time possible. However, what we see in this country is the baying for blood, expecting that Tom, Dick and Harry are rushed there so that we seem to be fighting corruption. Every case should be determined based on concrete evidence and not maligning names or name calling. Lynch mobs are currently in this country waiting for any smell of blood so that that a person could be lynched. However, what we are asking the nation is that we handle this thing following the due process of the law."
