    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am looking at the amendments before us. Hon. Members, the issue of corruption in this country is a very serious issue. If you go down the history line, you will find that in 1956, there was the Anti-Corruption Act. In 1990, the then President formed a Special Police Squad to fight corruption in this country. Four years down the line, the offices that they were occupying were gutted down by fire. Your guess is as good as mine why their offices were burned. That Special Police Squad was disbanded. Because of the pressure from Kenya’s donors and everybody else, the first Anti- Corruption Commission of this country was formed in 1997.Harun Mwau became its first Director. However, towards the end of the year, when he moved ahead to prosecute some National Treasury officials who had embezzled about Kshs800million, the then President sent Hon. Harun Mwau home."
