    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I will start with hon. (Ms.) F.I. Ali. The report was laid on the Table and the Auditor-General gave his summary. It is for PAC to look at that report and bring his report to this House and see where the Kshs33 billion went. On the issue that hon. (Dr.) Eseli has raised, I am not aware that Kenya has lost its sovereignty. If he has evidence, then you can tell the country because--- I do not want to use the other word because in my community, some words are not used in public. But as to whether or not we have lost our sovereignty, I do not know. Secondly, the projects that have been earmarked for that amount of money are mainly on the energy and infrastructure sector, and that matter will come to Parliament. That is because loans guaranteed must be sanctioned by Parliament. With regard to Kshs425 billion, I said yes. We signed for US$ 5 billion but hon. Wakhungu has asked for the US$ 5 billion that we signed. Then, there is the element of the private sector. With regard to what hon. Junet has asked, there were no conditions. I can assure you that there are no conditions. The Chinese are not coming here. We have a very good relationship with the Government and the people of China. Our President was given a 21 gun salute which other leaders are rarely given. So, we have a very good working relationship with China and we respect them on that. On the issue of joy-riders, I think the last Government was known for joy-riders and some of the supervisors of that last Government are here. This Government does not believe in wastage."
