    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that interruption is not a big deal. I am capable of substantiating any allegations I make in this House. I will just quote some paragraphs of this letter. This letter was addressed to Mr. J.N. Magari on 5th June, 2003. This is Mr. Keriri writing and he has not been investigated to date. It is reference: DOD Projects and Acquisition Priorities, Financial Year 2003/2004. It states as follow:- \"I enclose herewith a copy of a letter that was shown to His Excellency the President by Dr. Murungaru, Minister of State in charge of Provincial Administration and National Security yesterday regarding DOD Projects and Acquisition Priorities for the Financial Year 2003/2004. The list of projects contained in this letter were discussed by the Minister with His Excellency the President and the following were approved by His Excellency the President---\" Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is why I was asking: Since when did the President become a procurement officer? The items are as follows:- 82 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 23 March, 2006 (i) Combat Net Radios; 1,603 units. Mr. Keriri increased the items from 1,119 to 1,603 to the tune of Kshs8,703,880,000. (ii) TCV (Leyland); 400 units at a cost of Kshs2,436,200,000. (iii) Housing Project; Kshs1 billion. (iv) Corvette at a cost of Kshs4,159,760,000 (v) P4 Inspection (Puma). This is a chopper and it was supposed to be repaired. One chopper, which is costing Kshs80 million was repaired at a cost of Kshs360 million. This letter is not written by Mr. Ojode. These items are all listed here! (vi) AML 254 Re-Engine; 73 units at a cost of Kshs734,775,022. (viii) Five 50 ACB Helicopters at a cost of Kshs400 million. If you divide Kshs400 million by five, you get Kshs80 million. That is the cost of the helicopter, which was to be repaired at a cost of Kshs360 million. This was with the express authority from State House. Yet we are talking about corruption. This is shameful! However, I know the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs will help us---"
