"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I, therefore, want to state that it has come to light that this person who was supposedly making allegations is not a registered company under the Companies Act and there is a letter from the Registrar of Companies to prove that. They are not a registered contractor under the Ministry of Public Works and there is a letter which I am going to table to indicate this from the Ministry of Public Works. They also do not appear on the KRA tax records as being a registered company. So, the point I am trying to put across as I table this document is that, the House should not be used to malign other individuals when somebody has not verified the facts. The issue here is that even if an ESP project is worth Kshs10 million and somebody alleges that the Minister and the Permanent Secretary are demanding Kshs8 million of the Kshs10 million, it is ridiculous. Then, where would the money to implement the project be found? So, as I table this document, I appeal to the House and, indeed, to the Committee that will be looking into this matter to come up with very clear guidelines so that people can be sanctioned if the game is to malign individuals here. We must fight corruption, but let us fight it with facts and not just maligning peopleâs names."
