    "content": "We had a report by the late Member for Kitui West, Hon. Francis Nyenze, which was done in 2009 and given to the Minister at that time, the late Jeremiah Nyagah, regarding a task force on pyramid schemes. The report specified 270 pyramid schemes at that time. I believe that we now have more than that. Ksh8.2 billion had been lost to pyramid schemes. It is a pity that we are still talking about the same kind of pyramid schemes as of today in 2023. At that time, pyramid schemes which were there went down with about Ksh2.4 billion, and I am told it was run by the late George Odinga Donde. We need to get to the bottom of this issue of pyramid schemes There were recommendations and I am wondering if they were ever taken up. There was a recommendation that the DCI investigates and within six months, reports what it has done."
