    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the two minutes to contribute. 4280 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 2, 2007 I will start from the point where the Minister talked about the people who have looted and who should not come anywhere near the funds. It is the responsibility of the Government to implement recommendations of the PAC and the PIC. When those recommendations are made and adopted by this House, then the Government fails to implement them, whom do you blame? The same people who are now running around, you refer to some of them as luminaries and members of the pentagon, have been let loose by you. You are now allowing them to campaign around the country. It is you to blame as members of the Government! The Treasury is responsible for implementation. If that is fixed, we will ensure that members of the leadership are brought to sanity and do not get involved in looting again. The other issue which I had is that of Safaricom. If the evidence is anything to go by, there was a concerted effort by the witnesses who appeared before the PIC to mislead, withhold information and even at some instances quoted fictitious documents. One of the documents Mr. Michael Joseph attempted to present before the Committee was a letter dated 26th, May, 2000. It has an address of Mr. M/s Gavin Darby Advocates. It was purported to be Vodafone (K) Ltd. address. Obviously, the letter was not signed. When the Committee pushed for the reasons as to why it was not signed, the evidence which was inconsistent from Mr. Joseph demonstrated that obviously, he was to mislead the Committee and quote false documents. There are cases when we feel that the Committee should have to take action against such people in terms of being hostile to members of the Committee or to the Committee itself in terms of the evidence being presented. I do not understand how the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) also acted in terms of allowing this Initial Public Offer (IPO) to go on when there are issues which have not been resolved about Mobitelea Ventures Limited. As you are aware, while we were in Mombasa drafting this Report, one of the Members of Parliament came to where we were and told us that we were trying--- I will quote what he said. He said:-"
