"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to the debate on this very important Motion. I am perturbed by the Minister's request to Dr. Ojiambo to withdraw this Motion. I do not know whether this Government makes its plans upside down. It seems to me that the Ministry is making very haphazard plans. This Motion is long overdue. The Government should be serious about the fight against corruption. It is spending money day in, day out, in seminars and workshops, talking about the fight against corruption. The Bill that Dr. Ojiambo is proposing to be introduced is one way of curbing corruption. Supplies management practitioners are some of the most corrupt people in this country. They assist Ministers and other Government officials to steal public funds. They are used to siphon money from the Government. Two years ago, the Minister for Finance sacked all supplies officers because he knew they were the ones who were stealing public funds. That is why the he had the guts to sack them."
