    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Report, but I do not know who will implement it. There was an Implementation Committee in this House, but I do not know what happened to it. It was a very important Committee and it should be put back in place so that every time Bills, Motions or such reports come up, we are very clear that they will be implemented. It is not just a matter of sitting and doing reports and Motions, and nothing else is done about them. We must do justice to our own country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we must live in a civilized way, because everybody wants to be civilized. I cannot come from Kenya and say that I do not want to behave like a civilized person. However, when you come to the ground, I am ashamed of my people because of their way and standards of living, which is unfortunate. The farmers are working hard, but they are getting very little. Many children are not going to school because of lack of school fees. We are uprooting the crops, people are living in abject poverty, yet we know very well that Kenya is an agricultural nation; and that agriculture is our first and most important source of income or revenue. I now hear that revenue is dwindling. It is because we are not taking care of what we should take care of in order to make sure that we improve on our revenue."
