They have even gone ahead to fire some junior “hustlers” that is drivers, messengers, and tea girls. We need to be honest that if we have to fight corruption, let us remove politics. The biggest mistake as I go to my third point is that we have politicised and weaponised the fight against corruption. If you are politically correct, you will never be arrested. If you are politically incorrect, you will be arrested. That is what KEMSA is all about. I bet these people who have been mentioned or people who are facing allegations of corruption within KEMSA are politically correct. If they were not, they would have been arrested. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for example, today they have just arrested the immediate former Commissioner-General of Prisons, Wycliffe Ogalo. He has been arrested by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). His arrest was swift but the people who stole from Kenyans through COVID-19 billionaires have never been arrested. I have seen there was a meeting with the USA Secretary of State Mr. Antony Blinken. If we have to strengthen the partnership between Kenya and America, the issue of corruption must be addressed. We are aware Americans have been uncomfortable with the way KEMSA has been run. We want to ask the donor partners that until meaningful reforms are done within KEMSA, they should no longer partner. I hope Mr. Antony Blinken who is the Secretary of State who has just visited the county should take note of that. I know his officers will brief him on the same. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is the issue of military takeover and National Youth Service---"
