    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my grandfather used to prophesy, but I do not know whether I inherited that talent. But this is a very serious issue. If, really, there is nothing to worry about let me, at least, bring it to the attention of the Minister, so that he knows that it is something which is likely to happen. I want to go on record, as the Member for Kuresoi, as having said during the Ninth Parliament, that there is the danger of us giving one specific group of people called Grain Bulk Handling Company Limited the right to handle our grain imports without following the correct regulations. I would also like to predict, although I am not a prophet, that, most likely, I will be the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs in the next Government. I would not want a situation where I will say: \"I said it during the Ninth Parliament and I am now prosecuting people who have done it in the wrong way\". Let this thing be done correctly. Let Kenyans be allowed to tender. We are in an era of transparency and accountability. We want a situation where everything is done above the table. Nothing should be done under the table. I am saying with a lot of pain that we may end up making that mistake. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the time comes when the Government is asked to renew, or award tenders, the Government should do so correctly. I am saying this because the Minister for Transport is here, and he has the power to instruct the KPA to handle this matter properly. So, whereas I want to congratulate the Ministry for doing very well, I will be happy to congratulate them again for having stopped some things which would have been done underhand. It is very important that Kenyans know that we must do things above board. Thank you."
