"content": "How can you tell people that the money that can run the economy of Kenya was carried away in sacks? Those sacks can fill the City of Nairobi. Even if we want to lie to Kenyans, we need to be decent in our lies. We can say that some people have stolen from our coffers. That is a fact. There was theft under President Uhuru and President Kibaki regimes. It is the degree that differs. Under the Ruto regime, we have started seeing theft. I have not measured the Road from James Gichuru Road to Ole-Sereni, but it cannot be more than 15 kilometres. The work that should be done on this road is purely re-carpeting. You award a contract worth Ksh1.9 billion, and then you hear that those are firms that are well connected in the system. There is theft already. We have read, seen and heard about it before the Nation Newspaper brought it out. There is the issue of edible oil. Members of Parliament here cannot mention the names. Some of them told me that there is a lot of theft. It has turned out to be true. Kenya National Trading Corporation (KNTC) is sinking this country into one of the major scandals. We are watching many other things. Under Article 223 of the Constitution, which you are saying the current Government is not using a lot, there is theft going on. Actually, we have ordered an audit of all expenditures under Article 223 of the Constitution. I do not want to go further, because I am waiting for the Report of the Auditor-General. I am the Chairperson of PAC. I am waiting for it."
