    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Could the Minister tell us why the Government ignored recommendations made by the KACC and the Inspectorate of State Corporations contained on pages 4, 5, 6 and 8 of the probe report that the following officers be subjected to disciplinary action: Romano Kiome, Ali Mohamed and Joseph Kinyua, three of them Permanent Secretaries; senior officers include Dr. Songa, Mr. Mariga, Mr. Maalim and then under the NCPB, Prof. Gideon Misoi, Robert Langat and James Boit? The second clarification under the maize scandal is: could the Minister clarify what action he is going to take or he is contemplating taking against the then Minister for Agriculture, hon. William Ruto, who presided over the irregular distribution of maize, and which this probe report indicates that he ignored a Cabinet directive to sell the maize only to millers, and ended up enriching private business people? Mr. Speaker, Sir, under the free primary education, I have two questions. One, what recommendations were made on Prof. Karega Mutahi and senior officers in the Ministry of Education over the deliberate under-funding of the free primary education that led to a loss of Kshs5.524 billion over the following years: 2004, Kshs622,500,000; 2005, Kshs1.162 billion; 2006, Kshs2.95 billion; 2007, Kshs415 million and 2008, Kshs420 million? Could the Minister table the probe report for the free primary education, because I have been unable to get it but I have these figures. Finally on this one, why did the Acting Director of the KACC flout Sections 35 and 36 of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, which provide that these kind of reports must be routed through the Attorney-General, the Attorney-General forms an opinion and then he advises the Government for it to act? Why did they lock him out and ended up making these kind of dangerous decisions? I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
