    "content": "Hon. Speaker, having looked at this, what we did again in order to realise our goals, because this issue was a big one, we asked ourselves: How do we approach it now that evidence has been adduced that indeed due process was not followed? The company did not have the institutional mechanism. The bank somehow orchestrated the drive to milk the taxpayer. What we said is: How do we deal with this? We separated the different players under the tendering committee. We looked at the management. Who were the individuals who were accountable and who were at the helm of the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB)? We attempted to interrogate the activities of the management of NCPB at that particular time. We realised that the management of NCPB at that particular time did not follow all the laid down institutional procedures. If they had done that, then this saga would have been avoided. We also looked at the role of the tendering committee. We also looked at the role of the Strategic Grain Reserve (SGRs). Other than Mr. Kinyua, the others did not take their work seriously and, therefore, they did not use their good offices in order to protect the taxpayers from this imminent fleecing.
