    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, the failure of the Kenya Anti- Corruption Commission (KACC) was not just due to failure by the prosecutorial arm. It was also a failure of the courts. We had a situation where the High Court, in one of its judgements, said that Anglo Leasing cannot be investigated or prosecuted. The court gave an order stopping anybody from investigating or prosecuting matters to do with Anglo Leasing. That was a failure of our courts. I was even going to say that, because we have had that failure of the courts, we do not go ahead and give the adjudicating role to the KACC. My personal view is that the failure of prosecution and the failure of adjudication having been agreed are failures that need to be dealt with. They need to be dealt with by dealing with their primary institutions, and not by trying to curve out a specific institution that deals with one crime out of all the crimes that are possible in this role, and giving it that closed system. That does not mean that corruption is not a big problem, or that we should not give this institution the best support. Indeed, the best support to this institution is to get an independent prosecutorial authority to handle the prosecutions, and is not to give it all the aspects of that process."
