    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, at the same time, there is that element of moving a nation forward; that we honour heroes not just because of their own personal achievement, but they speak to us the language of progress. The book Why Nations Fail by Daron Acemoglu, they make that very clear. If you see jurisdictions where countries have become banana republics, it is because of having extractive economies which glorify the personal accumulation of wealth at the expense of the public good. I want to posit and say, that is exactly what our countries are. Indeed, if somebody ever said that corruption is not a devolved function, it seems to be a shared function. If counties and their formations become extractive in nature, then we will just have a group of competing elites wanting to remove others so that they can come and extract from the same coffers."
