    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Minister aware that his senior procurement officers in Limuru and here at City Hall are being investigated by the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) because they normally receive 10 per cent of the contract sum as kickbacks before awarding those tenders to successful bidders? I wish to table a letter here from one of the contractors in my own constituency. Those officers are very brave and they know how to sweet-talk the contractors. That contractor was told to part with Kshs5 million. He was told that, out of that amount, Kshs2 million was to go to the Minister, Kshs1 million to the Permanent Secretary and Kshs2 million to senior officers at City Hall. What action is the Minister taking to stop that illegal and corrupt practice?"
