    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my great friend never understood what debt is and how the economy runs. What I meant is that President Moi never left debts to the people of this country, but he left a country that was in tatters economically. We never had debts. If we had any, they were very little just like any other normal country. Hon. Kibaki brought this country up from -2 per cent to 7.2 per cent GDP growth. He left a small debt. President Kibaki only borrowed for the Thika Super Highway. That is the debt Kibaki left us with. The current Government is even borrowing to buy water for their offices. This House has the responsibility to advise the presidency that the country is heading in the wrong direction in terms of debts and the economy. People are hungry and have no money. It is very shocking that the President asked lately why people do not have money. Some people might ask you why you slept hungry. Is it because you had no appetite or do they not know you slept hungry because there was no food to eat? The President was also asking why we do not have money. It is the responsibility of Hon. Wandayi, Hon. Ngeno and Hon. Wahome to advise the President on why people do not have money in their pockets. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
