    "content": "Kenya is the hub. If we did not make the wrong decisions, what is happening now in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, now should be happening in Kenya. We should have built an airport of international standards, ten years ago. However, the naysayers who were saying, “Ooh, we are borrowing a lot of money---” Look at what is happening in Dubai. They are not even happy with the airport they have now. They have built a completely new airport which is three times the size. Go to Beijing, China; they have built the biggest airport in the world. Go to Japan, where the level of borrowing is about 90 per cent of their GDP, while Canada is over 60 per cent of the GDP. However, here, we are still talking about a borrowing rate which is lower than 60 per cent. What is wrong is corruption, waste and a Government which wakes up one day and there is already destruction. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I sometimes look at how we behave; where people find glory in arresting people, taking them to the courts and saying: “We are dealing with corruption.” Dealing with corruption is closing the loopholes and making sure that no money is stolen. You cannot be saying you are solving the problem by dragging people to courts. That is not a solution."
