    "content": "We have people who wait for their opportunity to come, so that they can fetch and pocket as much as they can, and create their own wealth while other Kenyans are dying in poverty. It is high time for us to see how best those who mismanage finances and other public resources can be punished harshly, so that others cannot think or imagine of doing that. We have countries that cut off the hands of people who steal. Kenyans should not just talk of corruption or financial mismanagement. Instead, we should come up with tough measures that will make those who want to steal to think twice. We should make them scared of losing a certain part of their body. I once watched a clip of a young man who raped a lady in Somalia and was taken to court. The court ruled that he be dealt with there and then. A man took a knife and that young man lost a better part of his body. We should introduce some tough measures in Kenya, so as to minimise the things happening in our country. The Auditor General and his team should also work hard because their circulated audit reports are usually doubted by many people. We cannot talk of rumours, but it is always said that many things happen before the compilation of the audited report. It is good to have measures that will help us control every step taken after the release of the finances. I believe that the Senate will continue being the watchdog, through the Committee on Finance and Budget. We should continue talking on behalf of the innocent people and be the voice of the voiceless. We should ensure that the resources that we have in our country are used well for the benefit of the poor man. Thank you and I support the Motion."
