    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to address this august House. I rise to support the Statement by the Sen. Cherarkey; the warrior of Nandi. I do so because this goes to the heart of very many things in this country. It epitomises many issues that have gone wrong with our concept of a developmental state. When we began forming these parastatals in the 1960s, the Asian Tigers did the same. We turned ours into bodies of stealing from the public, while the Asians put theirs to the purpose they were meant to be. We can see where the Asians are and where we are with ours. In supporting this Statement, I will request that you also look at who will be looking into it. I need to say that I am part of the Committee that will be looking into it because I belong to the Standing Committee on Trade, Industrialisation and Tourism. Initially, public money was spent to privatise Kenya Airways. Those responsible were not followed. Then it went into private hands and Government has continued pumping money into it without holding anybody accountable for the losses. I would like to invoke the provisions of Article 226(5) of the Constitution. I will also support what Sen. Wamatinga has said, that the people responsible for the losses should be pursued, so that we can auction them"
