    "content": "For instance, in this case, if the EACC did its investigations, then it should have handed over the files to the DPP to prosecute the cases. However, we do not have that. What we have is a catalogue of allegations saying that this person has done this. The status of the Report also indicates that they are investigating; meaning that they have not established the allegations. This is unfair to Kenyans, especially now that we have executives at the level of the Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries who are technocrats. Somebody was doing his work well, but at the stroke of a pen, somebody’s career is tainted by just that kind of a statement. You have released it and you cannot retract it. In the face of the public, that person will always be tainted and his image dented. This kind of Report should not have reached us, in the first place. It should be withdrawn if there is a way of withdrawing it. Let them submit it as per the Constitution and the Anti- Corruption and Economic Crimes Act to the National Assembly and then we will have a report which can be discussed by the relevant House and which actions can be proposed instead of giving this kind of a catalogue. I request that this Report should be withdrawn. Action should also be taken against the EACC because if you look at why the Report was actually brought, the President said that the Commission was complaining that the kind of investigation they are doing is the one which is affecting their work. However, the infighting is so public. The Chairman suspends the Deputy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the CEO re-instates him. There is a lot going on there. The point of investigation now should be to start with the Commission itself, first, because you cannot trust that kind of an organization to investigate other people."
