The unfortunate part about corruption in our country is, for example, when people’s buildings in cities or towns are demolished. One wonders how a building can be completed without the institutions concerned raising a flag. It is all about corruption. Somebody builds a multi-billion building, then as if it happened in one night, it is demolished. Nobody wants to look into that. Sometimes we punish the investors, but we never look for the person who signed or gave authority to whichever entity to develop a place.

Time has come for Kenyans to become truthful to themselves and bring about culture and attitude change. I wish corruption and economic crimes could be lessons in schools, so that our young people are brought up understanding corruption. In some instances, when students are asked what is the best way of acquiring wealth some of them answer that it is through corruption. Why do we not make it a subject in school, so that our children can be modelled to grow differently from those who were not taught about corruption?

I challenge the clergy in the country to make corruption in churches, mosques and other sacred places a sin. They should teach their followers the effects of corruption.

(i) What is the fate of Kabarnet School for the Deaf and the Blind in Baringo County which is yet to reopen for third term on account of a strike by subordinate staff, who have not been paid their salaries for the last fifteen months? (ii) What were the reasons behind the recent reduction of the Government’s annual allocation to the school from Kshs2.3 million to Kshs416,000? (iii) Could the Cabinet Secretary consider restoring the original allocation amount of Kshs2.3 million to the school and, further, consider reviewing this amount upwards on account of the rising economic costs?
