    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion. In doing so, I associate myself with the comment made by the Minister with regard to the admission that the RVR is dead. We should not be depending on it, expecting that it can perform any useful role in this country. That not withstanding, I wish to commend the Government of Japan for the manner in which they give money and the transparent procedures that are followed. One would wish that the other countries with which the Government deals and give money to this country would adopt the procedures that the Government of Japan does in granting money to this country. This is particularly with regard to Libya which appears to have a lot of money which can be invested in this country for good use. Rather than engage in conduct that only raises suspicion, one would wish that such governments that wish to do real business with Kenya such as Libya, and for which we support fully to invest, would adopt the same procedures that involve the National Assembly of Kenya. This is important so that we know the amount of monies involved, how it is disbursed, the outlets for disbursement of this money and the period of repayment including the grace period. That way, there would be no questions of deals being made by senior Government functionaries and representatives of foreign investors wishing to invest in this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to say that Parliament should support this Motion. Let it be passed together with the commendation to the Government of Japan, and other investors be advised to pursue the same procedures adopted by the Government of Japan. 2106 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 24, 2008 I beg to support."
