    "content": "whistleblower - the accountant who revealed the story - has been punished and haunted. I wish to ask the Maasai Mara University Council to seriously consider whether they know what they are doing. It is very unfortunate that whistleblower who has saved the institution from continuous plunder by the management is made to suffer on account of some administrative issues. This sends a wrong signal that the University Council is not committed to the war on graft. It is unfortunate and we need to follow up. I want to specifically turn to some of the issues raised in the Committee Report and ask the Chairperson and her Committee to look at some of those things. One of them is within the investment deduction. I believe it is captured in Paragraph 414 in my Report. The Committee is introducing some investment deduction to apply to investments outside Mombasa and Nairobi but putting a figure of Ksh10 billion. The Ksh10 billion investment is huge. I would want us to start small. Let us encourage people to put investments worth even Ksh2 billion so that we can have in all the counties and townships in Kenya scattered investments rather than everyone concentrating in Nairobi. If you cannot do a Ksh10 billion outside, you will be forced to do it in Nairobi, hence instead of spreading the investment across the country, we will be telling people that if they do not have Ksh10 billion, invest in Nairobi. But I would want to see the reverse that if you have up to Ksh2 billion invest outside Nairobi and we will still give you the investment deduction allowance. I would like to ask the Committee to consider changing Ksh10 billion to Ksh2 billion."
