    "content": "In my constituency, I have university graduates who rear livestock. You do not have to be employed to earn a living. About 70 per cent of unemployed people are the youths. It would be nice if young people picked up livestock and crop production so that they do not just sit at home and wait for employment. We are aware that unemployment is a big problem in this country. According to the best practices, borrowing is normally about 50 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). During President Mwai Kibaki’s regime, the Government borrowed up to 48 per cent. He left us with a debt of about Kshs1.8 trillion. Currently, the Jubilee Government has borrowed about Kshs6.8 trillion and they want to extend it to almost Kshs9 trillion. Where are we going? Where is the problem? Corruption is everywhere. Today, if a project should cost, say, Kshs10 million, that cost will be inflated three times so that 20 per cent of the money that is used can go to somewhere else. We must support the church and His Excellency the President in the fight against corruption because it is bringing this country down."
