    "content": "In fact, when Justice Ringera gave the same file to Sen. Wako, the then Attorney- General, Sen. Wako said that we cannot use that file to prosecute people. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if, indeed, the Government is committed to fighting corruption, instead of doing a public relations exercise on the Anglo Leasing scandal, we would like them to deal with fresh cases where they have obvious evidence. This is evidence that has not been lost because of dead witnesses, falsification of documents or lost files. What is special about Anglo Leasing? Why are you not doing the same about Goldenberg? Why are you not doing the same about the maize scandal that was there just a few years ago? Why is the Government not fighting corruption, looking at the issue of the Free Primary Education (FPE) Funds, for which some Ministers were sacked in this country and the evidence is there, including documents from the donor community? We are talking about fresh corruption scandals like the “Chickengate” scandal, where people ate chicken, they are still alive and in office – the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). If the Government is committed to fighting corruption, these are the areas to focus on. They are the same fellows who some politicians go to, to solicit for freebies to go and donate at harambees. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this issue of promoting transparency and accountability in public fundraising is so critical and many people have given many examples. There is a guy I know very well who called us to a Harambee. We conducted the harambee where his children were supposed to go to India, but the children never went there. We only saw him, having bought a brand new motor vehicle."
