"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Minister in order to mislead this House by purporting to indicate that this whole matter was above board and that the company that was handed this premium State asset was a company with a pedigree that qualified it to take control of this asset when facts have been tabled here and are within the knowledge of this Minister who also August 5, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2329 happens to be the State official responsible for executing this concession agreement? Is he in order to mislead this House when it is clear that the Rift Valley Railways (RVR) is a company that cannot even hawk firewood? This is a company that has absolutely no capacity even to pay legal fees for its own counsel in court. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to plead for the indulgence of the Chair to defer this matter to a day when the Minister can take time to appraise himself fully and respond to these issues and even give us more time to amplify these issues because this is not kids' play that deserves to be treated with the arrogance and petulance that the Minister has displayed."
