    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, which was passed by this House, has been violated by the Treasury, the KACC and the CBK. It is, therefore, important that this House, not only passes this Motion of no confidence in those concerned, but the individual concerned must be taken to court and be jailed. That is the only time impunity will end in this country. People who have stolen public property should actually be taken to court and get jailed, so that nobody else will ever repeat the raping of the economy of this country. Even property acquired through dubious means, after selling Government property, should be repossessed. We are not talking of individuals. We are talking of the Government, to ensure that corruption should never again in this country be an issue. We should now stand firm as a House and a country and say that corruption will be a thing of the past, by dealing with individuals. If I were the Minister for Finance, I would have saved the Government and the President the embarrassment of sacking me. There is no way he will survive after this Motion. He should have stepped aside. He should have told the President: \"I am stepping aside until investigations are complete.\" If he is found to be innocent, he will be allowed to come back to the Government, so that we do not get into this acrimony. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, therefore, I support this Motion. The Minister should be sacked or taken to jail. With those remarks, I support."
