    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to also contribute to the ongoing Motion. From the onset, let me say that I support. I will give my reasons for supporting. I agree with the cry in the House and in the country that things are difficult at the moment. I also want to agree that quite a lot of the projects which have been build in the country have been overpriced because of the corruption that we all know has existed in the country. However, at the same time, the Government has taken action on corruption which we all support. Most of the people involved have been taken to court or are in the process of being taken to court. We do hope that they will be held accountable by the courts and pay back to the State. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, most of the development projects that have been undertaken in Kenya are mainly projects on infrastructure. We all know that no country can develop without sound infrastructure. It is a fact that any country can never be able to develop enough infrastructure without borrowing. What has been borrowed has been mostly used to build infrastructure. It has not been used to pay salaries and neither has it been used on recurrent expenditure. If we want to grow to the next stage and move from being called under developed or developing world, then we have to put a lot of focus on infrastructure and that is what this Government has done."
