    "content": "People do not think that corruption is a problem because the idea of giving something is ingrained in some traditions and cultures. It is a requirement in some communities. We need to go to the root problem of this particular case. Kenyans are very hard working. They work day and night. We are an entrepreneurial country. People work hard in whatever they do in their businesses, jobs and studies. When you go outside this country, people tell you that we are about to take off economically. The same people will tell you that we are doing well as a country, but we have a problem of corruption. So, corruption has become synonymous with our brand or name. That is why it is absolutely necessary to take cultural, legal and political actions that will make corruption a thing of the past. This is the time to start. I thank the Member for bringing the amendment Bill, but I believe we need to go beyond legislation. We need to go for a cultural campaign, and an ethical and moral rearmament, so that we can fight this disease. It is eating into our national body and damaging our reputation and aspirations of becoming a well-developed and successful country among the nations of the world."
