    "content": "out of that scandal. The very small sexual scandal in the White House. I want to start by first proposing this question to the Hon. Members. How would you feel that when you eventually transit to the next world, your brother or the person that you entrust to take care of your wife and your children's property decides to start using them for his personal use? As Members, how do you feel about that? That is the question that Hon. Members should be answering before they vote later today. The late Governor, Nderitu Gachagua passed on 24th of February 2017. Between 2017 and 2024, it is indeed true that the late Governor then, amongst Mwai Mathenge and Njoroge, entrusted Mr. Rigathi, the Deputy President, as the executor of his will. But between 2017 and 2024, the property that… This is in the document that Hon. Mwengi Mutuse tabled in this House. Between 2017 and 2024, Mr Rigathi has altered or tampered with those companies, made himself director in some of those companies, transferred some of those properties to himself and disinherited some of the beneficiaries including his kids. One particular case is the Olive Garden that was altered on 2nd of March 2022, using the position of power to his advantage. How can you explain that? He will then tell you that he bought it. That it was on a willing buyer, willing seller basis. Does it mean that with all the money that you have acquired, which is also questionable, the only property that you could identify is the one supposed to help the family and the widows of your late brother? How wicked can we be? Then you come in the full glare of cameras and tell the members of the public that, “please let my brother rest in peace. I decided to hold this property in trust for them”, when the kids, widows, daughters and sons of the late are languishing in poverty, complaining and crying. It is a total shame. You cannot use your position for that. These are practical examples. I am telling the Hon. Members to acquaint themselves and go through Ground 7. It is on pages 16 to 30. This is nothing but a gross violation of the law. Taking advantage of their power. Hon. Speaker, you will realise that the time those new companies were being registered and the time the transfer took place is contemporaneous. You need not be a rocket scientist to know that this is fraud and taking advantage of one’s position. I want to remind the Deputy President of the good book of Proverbs 15:25, which says that the Lord tears down the house of the proud, but he will establish the border of the widow. That is why we are here today. If there is no other reason that has brought us here, it is to protect the family that is being disinherited of their property under coercion, blackmail and threats. It is biblical. In the good book of Exodus 22:22-24, the Lord says that we should not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless. “If you do and they cry to me, I will certainly hear their cry and my anger will be aroused, and I will kill you with a sword.”"
