    "content": "I want to thank the Chairman of UASU, Dr. Sammy Okubasu, who is from my former constituency, Ikolomani and from my County for standing strong and remaining steadfast with the lecturers. My sympathies go to the students for what they are going through. All the accounts of all the public universities are audited by the Auditor- General. Therefore, Prof. Kaimenyi should not pretend that he has no idea of what became of the Kshs3.9 billion if, indeed, the money was disbursed to the universities. The least we can ask for, as the Supreme Oversight organ in this country, is for proper accountability of the Kshs3.9 billion. We hear that this money was diverted. They can only give us a reason why the money was diverted. The person who diverted it colluded with the people who were carrying out projects. The bottleneck in this is corruption. The President has started moving and I hope that the ethnic and political party networks that surround Heads of States will not discourage him. We want him to continue moving. The move on Prof. Ndung’u of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) and on the former Minister, Amos Kimunya, is the direction to go. I am hoping that before they take Prof. Ndung’u to court, they will remember to widen the scope of the charge sheet. The charge sheet should be expanded to include what he did at the Grand Regency Hotel now called Laico Regency. It should also be expanded to include what Parliament found them to have done at the contract of De La Rue. I remember a particular Member of Parliament whose name I do not want to disclose is the one who was helping us with the wherewithal to get to the bottom of the De La Rue scandal. There are a lot of patriotic Kenyans; we had lawyers who went to court for free because they wanted us to get down to the bottom of this issue. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the President must know that the issue of Kimunya is going to be challenged by the usual ethnic considerations. Kenya is bigger than all our communities. Just like in the case of Prof. Ndung’u, I expect the charge sheet for Kimunya to be expanded to include De La Rue, the Grand Regency Hotel, the privatization of Safaricom and Telekom Kenya. This is the disaster that these people have visited our country. We have chosen patriotic and humble lifestyles. I support."
