    "content": "The Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission, and I really sympathise with my colleague the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, whose docket is to ensure that, that Commission does its work and corruption is eradicated in this country--- I am afraid that the record of the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission in dealing with corruption in this country is rather dismal. In spite of the pleas and concerns that people express that are for justice and constitutional affairs, I do not think that there is institutional capacity and capability, in spite of the high salaries paid to people who work there, for that institution to deliver. That is because the cases they get excited about is when Members of Parliament raise issues in the House. Then, the next day, there are furious consultation and people being called to Integrity House to be interviewed. But apart from that, you will never hear anybody being called to account or being interviewed for the major corruption scandals in this nation. I have had cases in my Ministry where there are heaps and heaps of letters going on between the Attorney-General's Chambers, my Ministry and the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission on cases which are never settled."
