    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a House that represents county governments and their interests, we know that the first charge to public resources and revenue is public debt. So, with a ballooning public debt going to Kshs9 trillion, it means that the sharable revenue will shrink more, our counties will get less and development will freeze. I am not a prayerful person, but prayers are necessary to save this country from the direction we are undertaking. After this term, the next two or three terms will be extremely difficult. We have now reached a situation like where the former President of Cuba, Fidel Castro, told the Americans: “Cannot pay and will not pay.” He told them that if they recklessly lent money to Fulgencio Batista when he was the President of Cuba, it was up to them. He said that he could not pay and would not pay because it was not possible to pay."
