“If you have a big mouth and you’re controversial, you’re going to get attention.”
— Mwai Kibaki

Simplified Meaning:
People who speak loudly and say things that cause arguments or strong reactions are likely to draw a lot of notice from others. Think about a person at a party who always talks very loudly and says things that make everyone else gasp or argue. Even if what they say isn't nice or true, everyone will look at them and talk about them afterward. In history, some politicians and celebrities have become famous not because they are kind or wise, but because they say things that shock or upset people. So, if you find yourself wanting to be the center of attention, you might start saying shocking things. But be careful, because getting attention this way can also make people dislike or distrust you.
