Mr. Speaker, Sir, today, the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) finally honoured my invitation for a meeting in order for me to share with them credible information about the fraud that was engineered between the Treasury, officers of the Ministry of Local Government and officers of the City Council of Nairobi. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 4th June, 2009. Hon. Linturi asked a Question by Private Notice. In the ensuing debate, I agreed to concerns raised by hon. Members that the answer provided to me by my officers was erroneous. In fact, the answer was based on a brief prepared by Mary Ngâethe, City Council of Nairobi Legal Officer on behalf of the Town Clerk, Mr. John Gakuo. I am on record on that day supporting an inquiry by the Departmental Committee on Local Authorities by telling Parliament that I had no qualms over the matter being referred to the relevant Departmental Committee. However, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be very happy if this matter is investigated thoroughly so that we can get to the bottom of it. As I speak, I know that this matter has also been taken over by the KACC for investigation. Therefore, it is perfectly in order for Parliament to scrutinise the documents further as the other agency also undertakes its investigations. This is in the HANSARD Record of 4th June, 2009. Subsequently, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have been in communication with the KACC to hasten their comprehensive investigation of the said fraud. The intention was for the truth"
