    "content": "Hon. Samuel Atandi has every right as a Member of Parliament to present a Petition before Parliament on behalf of Kenyans who have been conned. It not only happened in Cytonn High Yields Solutions Platform but also in Kiambu County where Hon. Wanjiku Wamuratha and Hon. Alice Ng’ang’a come from. They will tell you about Ekeza Savings and Credit Cooperative Society (SACCO), which is another pyramid scheme that defrauded millions of Kenyans. These people seek political favours and power. Those who defrauded people through Ekeza SACCO were insulting President William Ruto, then Deputy President, before the election. Today, they are all over recording songs of praise for him imagining that they will get protection from the theft they have occasioned on Kenyans. As political leaders, we must decide that if we are fighting corruption, it must be by action. The amendments we did last week on the Bribery Act speaks to some of these issues that Hon. Atandi is amending. Corruption is not only in the public sector but it also pervades even within the private sector. Well-educated people register companies with big names. Some hide behind big names like bishops like that one of Ekeza SACCO. You call yourself a bishop and then you defraud Kenyans. My good friend and former classmate, Mr Edwin Dande of Cytonn High Yields Solutions Platform, is a very well-educated Kenyan. He went to Alliance High School. He proceeded on to a good university in the United States of America. He then came back to work in Kenya. You cannot come back to Kenya and use your education to defraud gullible Kenyans. This House must stand with Kenyans who are being conned."
