    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wanted to inform Hon. Jakoyo that when a report or information is within Parliament, you are not under any obligation to substantiate. On 26th March, 2015, the President brought here a list of those suspected to be corrupt. In that list, there is a provision that specifically mentions that Engineer Kamau, through a firm associated with him, was awarded fraudulently a contract for the SGR. In that case, the President is telling us that the SGR is a cash cow where people are being awarded contracts contrary to the law. Therefore, his Cabinet Secretary had to step aside for investigation. If the Jubilee side is telling us now that there is nothing like that, then the President should, first, apologise to this House and the people of Kenya for misleading us that SGR is a cash cow. Actually, he is the one who called it “a cash cow” without mentioning the words. We are just trying to improve English for him that SGR is actually a cash cow."
