    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, coming back to the report, I have read it several times. However, I must say that there is a major problem of analysis of evidence and conclusions that the PAC arrived at. I am not saying that the report is bad. However, I am saying that the Report has not adequately analysed the evidence, and consequently, does not come up with proper conclusions and recommendations, especially regarding persons who have been mentioned in it. If you look at the Report on page 46, at the top, it reads as follows: \"Hon. Murungi, MP, advised Mr. Githongo to go slow on corruption investigations in return for a similar favour being extended on his father's case pending in court. This was obviously a bribe by a Minister in charge of justice, punishable under the Public Officer Ethics Act, 2004.\" There was no case pending in court. It continues to say: \"The Committee was satisfied that hon. Murungi, MP, acted to protect Dr. April 6, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 451 Murungaru and Mr. Alfred Getonga, hence obstructing justice that he was in charge of in his former Ministry.\" Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you look at the Report, it has not made any recommendation at all regarding hon. Murungaru or Mr. Alfred Gitonga. So, one wonders how I acted to protect Mr. Murungaru or Mr. Gitonga, for whom the Committee has not found anything for which they could be protected against."
