    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I pray that this Commission, in particular, will not understand their work to be the work of looking at fairness in my village. For example, ati who has stolen which chicken; ati who has done what and what – those small little criminal things. Those are the things that have made us to be so critical of the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC). That is because when we passed the law here to establish that Commission, we expected Ministers to be jailed. We expected Permanent Secretaries to be arrested. We expected managing directors to be put on notice and taken to court as they sit in their offices, if they are involved in any corruption. We expected chief procurement officers to be arrested after investigations and be put to answer! But, year after year, since the time we passed that law here, we have seen the Attorney-General and the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs coming here to tell us how many 1,000 cases they have arrested people who are charged with stealing chicken, corruptly accepting this or that or a police officer taking Kshs100 on the road from the matatu . We are not saying that those things should be condoned. But what we are saying is that those commissions must deal with the real crooks!"
