    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I feel honoured to stand in this House today and make a contribution. Today is a sad day as well as a very good day for this country. It is a sad day, because we are discussing issues concerning public resources. We are discussing issues similar to Goldenberg and Anglo Leasing scams. We are discussing this issue at a time when this country needs resources. We are discussing this issue at a time when this country is on the path of healing and reconciliation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, today is a good in this country because the Tenth Parliament, at its initial and young stage, is discussing a case of mega corruption similar to Anglo Leasing and Goldenberg. The Kenyan people out there, are watching and waiting for hefty answers regarding pertinent issues like the Safaricom IPO, the sale of the Grand Regency Hotel, the De La Rue saga, and many other issues like the sale of Telkom Kenya. We must, at this early stage, point out very clearly that this is a Grand Coalition Government. At this stage, there is no Opposition in this House. All the Members of this House, who are part of the Grand Coalition, are here in their capacity as representatives of the millions of Kenyans out there in order to protect their property and public resources that are dearly needed. We are talking about Kenyans who need these resources, like the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) and students out there, who have not gone to school due to lack of school fees. We must respect and follow the laws that we pass in this House. The Members of the Cabinet, who were picked from the 222 elected and nominated Members of Parliament, must respect the Public Officer and Ethics Act as well as the Kenya Anti-Corruption Act. We must respect the Privatisation Act that this House passed. We must respect the Public Procurement and Disposal Act."
