    "content": "Hon. Samuel Mbugua has said that, certainly, we are not going to have any burial place in Nairobi. I am concerned because I am also a Member of Parliament in Nairobi. We cannot bring our dead to the Parliament grounds. It will be overcrowded very quickly. I know that another land will found shortly. But what I said in my earlier intervention was that those people who are guilty of corruption for diverting public resources must be made to restitute whatever they have corruptly acquired and go to jail thereafter. Hon. Members may wish to know that the former Prime Minister of Thailand is now out of the country. But they are waiting for him to go to jail for corrupt activities. The former Chief Executive of Hyundai Corporation, which is the biggest corporation in Korea and is engaged in manufacturing of motor vehicles, building of ships and many other things, has been in jail for very many years because of corruption. So, the difference is what is being done if somebody is found to have committed a corrupt act. That is where we must move from, where we have been to where we should be. Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Gumbo talked about land for Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) headquarters in Karen, and wanted to know how that land was acquired. I do not have that information. So, I cannot provide it. I do not know whether the hon. Member was implying that, that land was acquired corruptly. That is because KACC must be like the “Caesar’s wife” since they are the ones who are investing other people. I do not want to make any other statement on that subject. Mr. Mungatana wanted to know if I did copy my letter of suspension of the hon. Ministers to the Speaker. I did not copy that letter to the Speaker because when difficulties arose, we decided to go the route of consultations. As I have mentioned, we are still consulting on that subject."
