    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this matter has started snowballing into something that we never appreciated. It has come to the attention to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the National Assembly of Kenya that in or around January 2011, the Controller and Auditor-General produced a special audit report; this report is now in public domain and the PAC is not seized of that matter. I would like you, when you are giving your guidance, to consider Section 26 of the Public Audit Act which provides that once the Controller and Auditor-General produces a report, in this case in January 2011, seven days after the first sitting of this House, the Minister for Finance is supposed to table that report in this House. Because I am not angelic, I would like to request that in your giving direction, you ask the Prime Minister to tell us why the Minister for Finance has sat on this report; if he is sitting on this report because he wants to protect the corruption that is going on in this Government, then let them be aware that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs represents this country in very important fora outside. Therefore, because the people who sit in such conferences with the Minister are aware that the Minister has been suspended as a result of allegations of corruption--- Even if they sit with him, does the Minister still have the moral standing before the international community if he purports to go there by force when this House has not been satisfied that the man has nothing to answer for?"
