    "content": "We have given an example of the NSSF in the financial years that we have looked at. On procurement, the Fund contracted Mugoya Construction Company, whose history is very well known in this country, to complete Phase II of Nyayo Estate in Embakasi at more than Kshs.324,000,355 million without any collateral security. The Fund was not able to recover this money. This happened in the last five years between 2008 and 2011. This is the case and yet the history of Mugoya, as a company in this country, is well documented. In the process, the public lost over Kshs300 million and, so far, nobody has been held accountable. I hope this Report, as it is tabled in this Parliament, will help this country recover some of this money from these individuals. The same case applies with the National Water Corporation Company that lost some money between 2008 to 2012 Financial Year. Through irregular procurement methods the water company also advanced a contractor more than Kshs48 million without any collateral. This contractor never did anything and yet the public procurement law that was supposed to guide the process has been in place since 2005."
