    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the adoption of this Report. This Report has been very much awaited. A lot has been said in the last one week as to what to expect. As a member of this Committee, I want to begin by saying that the Committee that sat through these deliberations for about five consecutive days did a very good job. Therefore, we came here unanimous. Our recommendations are supported by all of us. This is because this country needs to move forward. We need to occasion the Supplementary Estimates so that certain things can take place. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to say a few things. There has been an impression created that some Members of Parliament were baying for the blood of the Minister for Finance. In this country, nothing happens for nothing. If anything happens, no junior person can make a mistake, all the time we have to blame each other, PNU, ODM and all that. It is a shame for this country that even as the Committee was discussing this issue, there were meetings being held as to how to protect the Minister for Finance. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Minister had admitted that there were discrepancies. Therefore, the work of the Committee was to try and see how it is that there could be an error of over Kshs10 billion in the Supplementary Estimates. I want to say here and now that, that is not a normal error. I have worked with computers and I know that, that is a deliberate error. I want to thank hon. Imanyara for having seen the problem. I want to also thank whoever gave him that information. As Kenyans, we must be grateful to whistle-blowers so that we do not defraud ourselves every now and then."
