the East Africans. They know that we have built the superhighways and railway lines, but they understand what is happening. As a country, we should be cited at the East African Community Heads of States Summit because we have breached the EAC protocols on sound management of our economy. We have tricked the rest of the region. We know very well that part of our obligations to the Community involve first, running our economy soundly which is why we read our budgets the same day. Secondly, it is assumed that as a region we are not posing a threat to ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, it is sad that as we discuss this matter, the House is virtually empty. I hope our colleagues are following. I hope everybody gets a chance to read through this Report, especially those that are not Members of the Committee on Finance and Budget. The things people presented to us were shocking. It is unfortunate because there is no problem currently that is be-devilling Kenya, which you cannot trace back to the issue of debt, including even the fuel we were talking about last week. Why are we increasing it? It is because it is an International ...

need to read through these agreements, comb it and understand. What was the agreement and at what percentage? Did anyone benefit unduly? That is at least for what is behind us. Madam Temporary Speaker, however, we have got to handle this problem by thinking about the Kshs9 trillion that is behind us. What is it that we have got to do in the future? The truth of the matter is that where we are, it is not possible to say that we shall stop all borrowing because even the revenue that we are generating internally as a country cannot run ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, borrowing is a must for any of these people that are coming to run this country. How do they do it? That is why we have made this proposal. Indeed, as a country, we must continue to increase and think what other countries are doing to manage their economies better. This non-debt financing option remains to be one. Let us go back to our pension institutions and generate revenue and use that financing soundly. The cost of doing many of our projects is prohibitive. The law that we recently passed here, as a House, on Public Private ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, there is one last thing before I sit. I hope that at one time, just like we were able to rise above the challenges of the partisan politics that is the nature of our work. We place before us all these people running for office of President either at committee level or even a caucus of Senators against maybe debt mismanagement in the country. We just listen to the plans of all these presidential candidates. I know that Sen. Sakaja had spoken earlier and said that it is only Hon. Musalia Mudavadi who speaks about this issue. ...
