"content": "and it has been worked on”. There is an example that was given and I will remember this for a very long time. When you write a cheque for Kshs.500,000 to the bank, the bank manger calls you and asks you if you have written that cheque. It does not mean that the bank, or the system is corrupt. It just means that the system is working. So, when something comes to Parliament and at times we have a number of committees constituted, I will be grateful if Members of Parliament would be able to involve themselves as members of APNAC in every single committee. Not that you have to be a member of APNAC but be people who are committed to the values of ethics, morality and transparency. As you know, there have been questions asked within committees as to whether we are transparent. We have to do it from here by ourselves. Impunity is a major challenge and its penalty is a problem. I have come across cases where a chicken thief is lynched when somebody of Triton fame, who has brought down this country, is walking around in Britain as if he is a great person and he is not touched. There is corruption of survival by police officers. It is not right but that is how bad things are. Then there is grand corruption. There is a person right now who has banked Kshs1.2 billion in his account in three years and he is scot free. We are wondering why then those young people who have taken Kshs100 are imprisoned. In China grand corruption culprits are executed. Thank you so much. I plead with all Members of Parliament to join APNAC. We would like to have you with us."
