    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, regarding the issue of corruption, it was a bold step by the President. Unfortunately, as it has come to pass, the President has been embarrassed by this list. Looking at the allegations and the contents in the Report, it is shocking that advisors within Government and within the Presidency would misadvise the President to the extent that he had to own such kind of a document that is not actually known who authored the Report. If you look at the President’s Speech, he says that he has received the Report from the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the commission. But if you look at the Report, it does not indicate that it originated from the CEO. If you look at the legislation and the reporting mechanisms of commissions, it is the Chairman of the EACC who should report and forward documents. In this case, we are told it is the CEO. If you look at the Report, it does not indicate that this is coming from the CEO. It is such an embarrassment. We are shocked that some of the advisors of the President would allow him to annex this kind of a shoddy Report to his Speech. The impact is that it forms part of the Speech by the President. If you look at some of the allegations, there is lack of consistency. In one instance, the set of allegations indicates that, the governor did this or that. However, if you look at the person being named as the suspect, it is a County Executive Committee (CEC), a county secretary or a procurement officer. In another county, the governor is held accountable. In another one, it is the procurement officer for the same offence. I hope we can sort out this challenge and get Parliament to deal---"
