    "content": "Hon. Speaker, finally, I want to refer to Clause 53A(6), which provides that external loans or external Government securities may be executed, on behalf of the national Government, only by the Cabinet Secretary or a delegate appointed by the Cabinet Secretary, in writing or a borrowing agent appointed for the purpose of this Act. What is the implication here? Anybody can sign contracts on behalf of the Government of Kenya. This is how this country ended up having all the problems that it has today. What is the history of these kinds of projects? We have had the fertilizer factory project, which ended the same way. We know what happened. We did not get it. What is the history of gold export scheme by Goldenberg International? Kamlesh Pattni was exporting papers. We have the Anglo Leasing scum. The situation is very clear. We cannot go back to “A” and “A”. The Constitution of the Republic of Kenya is against “A” and “A”. What we are trying to do is bringing back “A” and “A” through the backdoor. This is unconstitutional. Hon. Speaker, it is for the Members of this House to decide what to do but I oppose the Bill in the strongest terms possible. Thank you."
