    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the point I am making is that the problem we have with corruption is that we just talk about it. If the intention was really to deal with the Goldenberg matter, are there no more effective ways through which this House can engage itself on the matter? We will pass this Motion, which is well supported. We will urge the Government and then what? We should look at legislations that need to be strengthened. If the Mover had brought an amendment to an Act relating to this matter, it would be more effective. Alternatively, if he had requested for a Statement from the Government on what it is doing to stop irregular payments, it would be more effective. So, let us not make this House a talk-shop, where we just talk about corruption and then move to the next Motions, in which case we have Motions on Kenya Electricity Generation (KeNGeN) Company and the Tana and Athi Rivers Development Authority (TARDA) waiting. I would like to point out that, contrary to what certain hon. Members have said on the Floor of this House today, the Jubilee Government is keen to ensure that corruption is nipped in the bud and that we have transparency."
