    "content": "The Committee also highlighted the failure to submit supportive documentation to the Auditor-General. We have always complained. This nation has suffered because of corruption, which has been there since Independence. If some of us speak about it today, we are embarrassed because we are leaders. We do not want to get close to anything that has an element of corruption because it has eaten this country. It has become like the cancer that we debated on last week. It is finishing the people of this nation, and is taking the lives of our people. It is finishing our economy and leading us to poverty. Many institutions and ministries award tenders that often go to families and relatives who do not deliver in a proper way. Can due diligence be followed in every tender job? I want to congratulate the Kenya Kwanza Coalition Government and our President who has come out clear that he will not condone corruption. In fact, as one of Kenya Kwanza leaders, I am very happy with this Report that we have been given today. I will not support any corrupt leader, even if it is my brother or a close friend. I will be supporting any report that you give us. Unless we overcome the problem of corruption in this country, there is no way we will have a better future."
