    "content": "I read something in the newspapers that the Cabinet has approved payment of US$5 million. It was in the newspapers but I am not sure. If that happens, that will be scandalous, unacceptable and a form of corruption. This is why this information is crucial. Hon. Naomi Shaban is here and she is a senior Member of this House. Luckily, she has been on both sides of the House. She has been a Minister and also an ordinary Back-bencher. She is now part of the leadership of the House. When such critical reports are tabled, please let them be fast-tracked because that is the only way we can safeguard our situation. The same thing also happened to Telkom Kenya. As we waited for the debate of the Report, a number of things happened. You know Telkom Kenya was one of the richest institutions. I am told that the only thing that motivated the cartels was to be part of the many assets that Telkom Kenya had. Once they were through with the selling and whatever they wanted to do, they are now saying that this is no longer a profitable venture. Therefore, they want to go back where they came from. This is the same thing. In future, I am sure when we see such reports, Hon. Naomi will take interest and ensure that these reports are debated. Finally, I want to thank all of you for your patience and contribution. I am sure in our next report; in particular with regard to what Hon. Gikaria who is the Vice-Chair of the Implementation Committee said--- Of course, we have the standard parliamentary report writing, but you can also deviate a bit. That is what we have attempted to do. So we will take that into account. I beg to move, once again, and ask all of you to support this Report."
