    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think my time will be extended because I am being unduly interrupted. It is clear that on 5th June, 2003 the then Comptroller of State House, Mr. Matere Keriri, wrote to the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance informing him of these Anglo Leasing contracts. The list of items projects was detailed in the letter to His Excellency the President. The items are in this letter, which I will make available to the House. So, the Questions I am asking are very pertinent. You cannot purge them from my speech. They are very pertinent. The other issue that needs to be raised is with regard to further interest in following up the matter. At that very moment I remember that I used to go round the world promoting the Government. We said that we would leave no stone unturned to deal with corruption. Mr. Githongo briefed His Excellency the President on who was behind the Anglo Leasing contracts. The brief to the President is contained on page 15 of the Report. On the 12th of June, he briefed the President on the scandal. The President asked him who he thought was behind the affair. Mr. Githongo said Mr. Murungaru, Mwiraria, Magari, Oyula, Mwaliko and, possibly, Mr. Mwangi. This is in this Report, and is not what Prof. Anyang'-Nyong'o is saying. If you go to page 17, you will see that there is yet another character involved in the Anglo Leasing affair, whose identity the Government denied. But he is somebody they knew. This was a man called a Mr. Merlyn Keterring, who was closely associated with the Anglo Leasing affair. He seems to have had the protection of Mr. Muthaura, Mr. Mwangi and Mr. Gitonga. So it is said in law if a foreigner commits a crime in your country and escapes to his country of origin, you can issue what is called \"letters rogatory\", and the former Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs knows it. This will facilitate an inquiry into the identity of the person, or seeking that he be extradited and so on. The American Government knows where Mr. Keterring is. The American Government is a friendly Government, and has an embassy in Nairobi. All this time that we have been trying to leave no stone unturned, this \"stone\" called Mr Keterring, has never been turned. April 18, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 499"
