    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish that when Mr. Raila comes to power, then I will occupy a substantive position as he promised. I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I was an hon. Member of the delegation. What surprises the citizens of this country is the denial by the Government of the Republic of Kenya that a contract did not exist concerning this ship. It is very shameful! The Government entered into a contract with Euromarine on 15th July, 2003. The building of the ship started and a project officer was posted; a marine engineer from the Kenya Navy. The ship became ready and was launched into the sea in January, 2005. The people who witnessed the launching of the ship were the Kenya Navy Commander, representing the Kenya Government; a representative of our Embassy in Paris; the Chief of Logistics, Kenya Navy, and the Chief of Procurement, Department of Defence (DoD), yet the Government denied that the contract ever existed. Euromarine, for the information of this country, has been building ships for the Kenya Navy since the 1990s. It has delivered nine vessels to the Kenya Navy. So, this company was not a shady company. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the second shocking thing for this country is that May 2, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1085 despite the Government of the Republic of Kenya having a Parliamentary Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations visiting Spain and bringing a report, and the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) bringing a report--- This matter touches on confidentiality; top secrets, yet this Government has the audacity of contracting a civilian foreign organisation to go and investigate the DoD."
