"content": "we went through this issue. They have even issued a statement congratulating me for a job well done. It is true he was awarded all those things and we put them there. I have no problem and I said there is nothing personal. All that I said was that to take this company forward from where it is, it requires different management. We are stuck at half a billion shillings over a three-year period. That is what I am saying. So, I agree that he has got all those things; in fact, he was given by the Ministry. I appreciate that. In terms of integrity, I have concluded my statement by saying; now that a lot of things have become available to me after putting a more professional boss in place, I will be taking action on those matters that require--- In fact, I have a team moving in to follow up on those things and others that are coming up every day. As you know, when you move out of that seat, many things come up that were not obvious before. Issues of integrity are a problem; when a CEO sits on mileage claims, when he backdates a letter by which he applied for a job--- Those might appear small, but issues of integrity, where I am concerned are very important. Does the board have the face of Kenya? I have now put the face of Kenya to the board, and there will be a face of Kenya in management. That is important, because if we do not do that, we will have a problem. The milk in KCC is supplied from two regions: Fifty five percent comes west of the Rift while 45 percent comes from east of the Rift. So, we have to balance many interests, so that there is no chaos in the process. That is the reason I have to take this into account. So, I hope as the board recruits, it will take these things into account. Finally, is there criminal evidence? I have proposed to produce evidence where money has been misused. For example, under the auspices of Athletics Kenya, Mr. Wanjiru arrived from a marathon event and did Kenya proud. The cost of receiving him at the airport was Kshs800,000. This is being repeated every day as marketing and an excuse of good image in order to cheat Kenyans and farmers. I will not allow farmers to be cheated. I have evidence and I am going to table it."
