    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was saying that Mr. Githongo chose to tell untruths. He stated, and this is what the Committee said that it accepts, that I told the then acting Permanent Secretary who was the Financial Secretary to pick up the phone and call Mr. Kamani. The Committee only needed to look at its own report to find out that Mr. Oyula told them that he did not call Mr. Kamani and did not even get those instructions. He only sent a fax to the bankers in Zurich. That is the first untruth from Mr. Githongo. The second untruth is that he accuses me of telling him that a Mr. Perera had financed the President's treatment in London. I am not given to just saying things that I do not know. Mr. Githongo once again chose to make up a story to smear my name and the name of the President for reasons which he understands or for reasons that the hon. Members of the Committee who went to talk to him understand. Mr. Speaker, Sir, another surprise was with regard to the conversation I am supposed to have had with Mr. Githongo over a cup of tea during a seminar in Mombasa, where we talked about a Mr. Jimmy Wanjigi wanting to kill him. This is another untruth. There are so many untruths, but I do not want to go into the trivialities. He even talked about myself, hon. Murungi and himself flying to London to see the Kroll and Associates people. The truth of the matter is that I was on my way from Washington after attending the April meetings when I heard that they were in London, and I met them. The fact that he cannot even remember that, although he used to tape- record everything, surprises me a little."
