    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, let me use an English phrase that is appropriate. I meant that, it is an idea whose time is right. I think that will drive the matter home. What is ailing our country is corruption. Sometime back, we saw in the media that some people were caught changing the expiry date of medicine. A week or two ago, we learnt that supermarkets are selling meat that is unfit for human consumption. Although that was brought to the attention of the public through an expose’, I do not know whether most people are aware which supermarket was responsible for that act. I am not aware personally. If somebody was rotten enough to want to kill Kenyans, using an inappropriate kind of food preservative, Kenyans needed to know which supermarket was trying to poison them. There should have been a price for the supermarket to pay so that Kenyans can now opt whether they want to shop in that supermarket or not. How did that story disappear without anyone being taken to court and yet we were told that the Ministry of Health was able to prove that, that is a reality on the ground? As you drive in Nairobi, you will notice that all the plants along the road are not green anymore. They are black, the reason being that they are exposed to the fumes that are produced by vehicles passing by, especially public service vehicles. When will Kenyans get the services they deserve from their Government, by ensuring that those vehicles are not on the road?"
