    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am a bit surprised by the answer by the Assistant Minister. This is because he has taken Kshs11,039,687.50 from the Report that was tabled in this House by the Minister for Co-operative Development and Marketing arising from the Report of the Task Force on Pyramid Schemes chaired by hon. Francis Nyenze, a former Member of Parliament. According to that Task Force Report which was tabled in this House, apart from the Kshs11 million that is mentioned in the Assistant Minister’s answer, there are further sums of Kshs25 million, Kshs80 million and Kshs34 million. There is an entry here to the effect that these sums of money were released to the owners arising from the entry of nolle prosequi by the Attorney-General. The Attorney- General withdrew the cases under Section 87A of the Criminal Procedure Code and these fraudsters were able to withdraw this money that had been “frozen” by the High Court. Is it, therefore, in order in these circumstances for us to accept an answer that contradicts a report that was tabled before this House, that confirms in writing that the cases were withdrawn by the Attorney-General and the amounts involved are colossal and not just Kshs11 million? There is a report, if the Assistant Minister wants to see it."
