    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on page 15 of the Report that was tabled here, the Controller and Auditor-General raised issues of the loss and how we need to verify that. But, on this particular one, on page 14, he said that there was a project which was not started and for which some equipment is said to have arrived in Mombasa. This is the Telecommunication Network for Police Administration, Globaltel Finance and Middleway Finance all totalling to Kshs4.965 billion. Really, the issue was that a few equipment May 9, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1215 that were delivered and said to be lying in the Port of Mombasa may have to be paid for and cancellation of the project considered. The Controller and Auditor-General went on to suggest that any losses suffered by the Government should be ascertained and action taken against the officers responsible for such losses. Now, that is exactly what we are doing. We are ascertaining whether the equipment came, where it is, its value and who was responsible. Based on all that, we would determine whether we should pay for it or not. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the meantime, all the promissory notes that had been prepared for purposes of that project were never released. That is the confirmation I am giving this House. So, what hon. Maore has tabled here are copies of the promissory notes that were prepared, but never released to a particular person. If he has received them from a particular person, we will be very interested to know where he met the person we are all looking for. That information is what he should be telling this House. Where has he now managed to get this person we all have been looking for?"
