    "content": "for my zeal in pursuing the truth. I, therefore, appeal to anyone with information to provide the same to the KACC, the Kenya Police or my office for any appropriate action. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, I attach some relevant documents to this Statement which I have referred to. I would like to say something about this document which will be part of the bundle that I will lay on the Table. It is interesting, as has been mentioned by other Members of Parliament, that a document which talks of an investigation that is ongoing is leaked prior to it even being concluded. It is leaked to the media and then we get information that there are people who followed it up to the media to get the editorial teams in some of the media houses to use it as the front page information and to serialize it so that it can be used politically. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this document which I will table had a common reference for every Member to see. It was being put either in the pigeon holes or distributed along the corridors of Parliament specifically drawing attention to pages 8(b) and 13. It is very clear that this was a well calculated scheme to make this a political issue rather than make it a proper investigative aspect. This cannot be accepted. Mr. Speaker, Sir, another thing that arises is what the KACC is supposed to do. The KACC is not supposed to be under the direction of anybody. You can give it information, but it cannot operate as if it is under the direction of an individual or a political entity; that is different. In fact, the KACC can only be challenged literally by this Parliament. How come, in law, this Report is forwarded to the Prime Minister and Mr. Muthaura? Previously, when all other reports are done they are, in fact, not forwarded to Mr. Muthaura or the Prime Minister. This Report is supposed to be completed, and then in accordance to the KACC Act, it is forwarded to the Attorney- General for him to look at and decide whether there should be prosecution or otherwise."
