    "content": "a (Kabuchai, FORD-K): Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have diligently listened to the Chairman giving us a report of Ksh25 million stolen from the poor farmers of Nakoyonjo Coffee Factory. The Statement is totally unsatisfactory because the Ksh25 million was not stolen from farmers of Nakoyonjo. Ushirika Bank withdrew that money without the police. They are lying. They carried the money from Bungoma Co-operative Bank to their Kimilili Ushirika Bank office. It is not the farmers who did that. On reaching their office and as they put the money on the floor, robbers came in and took the money. That is the case. Robbers injured no one when they carried the money from the floor. It is not worthy to use two officers as security for that huge amount of money, Ksh25 million! They were not using any other vehicle but a private one. Finally, I plead with you because the Statement states that the DCI has not given a report up to now. We had 307 days left for that year since 1st March 2022. There were 365 days of 2023 and 366 days for 2024. This year has given 165 days. That is a total of 1,203 days and there is no response from the DCI. I humbly ask you to use your discretion in this House to ask the DCI to release a report on the investigation. They are quiet. It bleeds. One John Khuveyi, a poor farmer of Member No. 1005, lost 620 kilogrammes. Jackson Naibe, a peasant farmer of Member No.350, lost 870 kilogrammes. Everlyn Nasimiyu of Member No. 2244 lost 825 kilograms. These are poor farmers who are at the bottom of the pyramid. The Chairman has answered very unsatisfactorily. Finally, the last page states that Nakoyonjo had some negligence. Nakoyonjo is a coffee factory. Nakoyonjo did not have custody of the money. They did not need to have CCTV in Nakoyonjo Factory to work in Kimilili. I do not agree with this Statement. This thing is nonsense. They must go back and bring us the right report for the people of Nakoyonjo. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
