    "content": "there for one purpose; to just make money. If you go through all our recommendations, starting from the illegal acquisition of Corporation land, we are recommending that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission takes up the matter, investigates and those found culpable be brought to book. We are looking at areas like Kisii, Naivasha, Kitale and Mtwapa where we have the same story. For how long will this continue in this country? Is it a country where parastatals or State corporations are brought up purely for certain individuals to make money, loot and get away with it? Nothing is done to them. It is very disheartening that practically in most of the institutions we have investigated and have come into our records, the trend is similar. There is looting of public land, no accounts, outstanding imprest and the story is the same. Given the fact that this Report was supposed to have been tabled by the previous Committee, I want to make a final observation that time has come for Kenyans to change their attitude. Time has come for us to look at those State corporations as institutions that are meant to develop the country. We should look at them as institutions which are geared towards opening the country apart from creating employment. This culture of hiving off State corporations’ land and stealing funds should end. The Triton case and the grabbing of the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) land are fresh in our minds. It is my hope and desire that all those who are mentioned in those reports, once they are adopted by the House, the relevant Committees will see to it that further investigations are done and the implementation of the recommendations of this Committee are followed to the letter. With those few remarks, I beg to second the Motion."
