    "content": "So, you are proposing that we have court martial? If the EACC has bungled investigations, we can become radical and allow the army to take over through court martial. If the watchman is the one allowing stealing, who will ensure that the watchman is being watched? Just as the Member said, if the EACC has bungled investigations, the institution that should take over is the military through court martial so that the money can be returned. I know Sen. Maanzo knows this because he is a Senior Counsel. We must trace the money that was stolen. As we surcharged them, we should also make recoveries. Under the law, the Assets Recovery Agency has an obligation to trace such money and bring it back to the country. In this country, when someone is found to have been corrupt, we should not only jail them, but also trace and recovery the assets and the money and bring it back. Corrupt people know that they can steal and be taken to court. While in court, they play around with the judicial process after getting lawyers who are sharp to delay the prosecution. When they are fined, for example, Kshs100 million, they come back and enjoy the proceeds of corruption. We must make it painful to steal from Kenyans. The first thing should be to jail them. We can suggest that the corrupt must be paraded at Uhuru Gardens and shot from the sides, so that we do not have their DNA in our system. We should not allow them to sire seeds of corruption. We can as well recommend that we have court martial, the way our neighbour, President Museveni, is doing to some individuals. They should be shot from the sides after having gone through court martial. Another way is to make them sterile. We should castrate them so that we do not have their DNA in our society. That will save our young people who know that in order to get something from the Government, you must be corrupt. We should value integrity. For example, in Japan, when one is just mentioned as being corrupt, they commit suicide because of the shame and embarrassment.
