    "content": "All right, I will. \"---The KACC has subsequently initiated investigations into eight other cases namely, the Kenya Prisons Telecommunication Network---\" Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the importance of this quote is that the KACC averred in April, 2005 that investigations into the Anglo Leasing related scandals had been investigated and completed. Now, who do you want to believe that this Government is serious about fighting corruption, when a man, paid Kshs2 million a month can tell white lies to the whole Republic and the President, a year later, could come to this House and still say that this Government is serious about fighting corruption? Truth has been criminalised, right from the top. This House is not going to sit by and see truth being further criminalised by the other side. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my friend, the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs has a lot of energy and she is a lady of integrity. I pride myself of being a patriotic Kenyan who has suffered many days in the Nyayo torture chambers, to promote democracy in this country. The enthusiasm with which I championed economic development in this country was finally criminalised by my being kicked out of this Government for standing for the truth. I really feel pity for my friend, the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, because she has noble objectives. But, unfortunately, she is serving in a Government where truth has been criminalised. With those remarks, I beg to support."
