    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, there was no formal transfer of assets. We know that they should have put it in newspapers and notified all the creditors. This was not done. As I said, the new company is a fresh registration; there was no formal transfer. This is a fresh registration of a new company. This new company is actually tax compliant. It is paying its taxes on time. We are trying to get the connection between the directors and the shareholders to justify our case that the transfers of those two properties may not have been genuine. Do not forget that they were already in the names of other people. We, therefore, want to have this as a test case. Auctioneers have already been instructed to sell one property. With regard to the other one, the Commissioner-General is in the process of registering a charge, and we are also going to sell it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not that we have not tried. We have written to all the banks in Kenya seeking to know of anybody holding, probably, an account. Yes, they have an account, but it is actually in overdraft. There was an account, but the money has been withdrawn. That is what we have received so far. However, I can assure this House that we are going to try and make sure that whatever tax is owed is paid. Let me take this opportunity to warn and caution all companies and all Kenyans: Please, pay your taxes. We are going to hit you hard if you do not pay."
