    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think the Committee on Implementation is not doing its work properly. You will find that there is a public company where an inquiry was conducted by the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co- operatives in the Tenth Parliament and hon. Mututho was its Chairman. That is the Kenya Planters Co-operative Union (KPCU). Nothing has happened to those people who have looted that company up to date. Therefore, I also request that Parliament be tough with these reports. Once they are done, they should not gather dust in the shelves. If you check the wastage in parastatals, most of their money is wasted on procurement of services, vehicles and properties. If that money is recouped, it can actually be committed even to security, which all of us are crying that it is wanting. I would, therefore, request that this Parliament and the Government becomes tough on people who are mentioned when it comes to misuse of Government property. If you go to many counties including Nairobi, you will find many civil servants in high profile estates. However, if you ask them how they got that wealth, no one will be able to account. Many of them were Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) in parastatals. However, time has now come with the new Constitution that one has to account for each and every action taken when in a position of responsibility. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rest my case here and I support this Report. Thank you."
