    "content": "If we do not address corruption in this country, it will eat all of us. It will be a ghost that will swallow all of us and we will remain with no country. I urge our colleagues in the Kenya Kwanza Coalition, and we have said many times that this is not the time to talk. We have heard enough stories on eradication of corruption. We want action. We want to see heads rolling and jailing of accounting officers, principal secretaries and chief accountants. At the end of the day, everybody will be like in the Bible, “Kila mtu atabeba msalaba wake.” If we go in that direction, we will help this country. The oversight committees like Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and Public Investments Committee (PIC) do excellent jobs. How I wish we can implement these reports. How I wish we, as Kenyans, can gang up and say those who have been picked out in these reports for being responsible for the mistakes must leave office. We need to introduce this. There is the issue of stepping aside for us to carry out investigations and then you come back, if you are clean. That is a part we need to push harder. If you are mentioned in a Report like this one, you must step aside and earn 50 per cent of your salary. Once you are cleared, you come back. If you are not cleared, you are taken to court. Kenyans will see the need for being straightforward and having a high-level of integrity. So, at the end of the day, we can build this country for future generations. Hon. Temporary Speaker, with those many remarks, I support this Report. My plea is that we move to the next level of implementing recommendations. Thank you for the extra time."
