    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a)The Ministry of Public Works Report “Verification and Certification of Projects at Multimedia University College of Kenya”, Ref. No.FPU/5Vol. I/1 and the Kenya Audit Report on the Systems Audit for 2010/2011 Ref. No.MMUC/219(3) show that laid down Government procedures for procuring works, that is, building and associated civil engineering works were not followed by the university management. However, it is only after the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Auditor-General finalizes their investigations that the Ministry can confirm if there was any embezzlement and the action to be taken thereof. (b)When the two reports were received, the Permanent Secretary, on the 29th of May 2011 forwarded them to the EACC with a copy to the Auditor-General and requested them to carry out investigations to ascertain these allegations and take appropriate action. The EACC is yet to communicate to the Ministry of their findings and the action they intend to take if any. (c)There is no evidence that Dr. Kirumbi was paid a gratitude of Kshs6 million. However, he was paid Kshs4,166,270 as gratuity. The additional payments were in favour of trade off days for the leave accrued. This matter is also under investigations by EACC to determine the authenticity of these payments and for recommendation of action to be taken. I thank you."
