    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of the external commercial debts, we have talked about Anglo Leasing scandal for so long. The Director of the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC), Prof. PLO Lumumba, has spoken a lot about his commitment to fighting corruption and bringing these big volatile files to close. He has also spoken about Anglo Leasing without a lot of confidence because of lack of information. The Government is refusing to co-operate. I also believe that a foreign Government, which is the British Government, has a lot to do with the information that Prof. PLO Lumumba will need in terms of executing these files on Anglo Leasing. I know the British Minister is in the country. A few of Members of Parliament met him and we raised our concerns on the mutual legal assistance. I know that he has met the Director of KACC, Prof. PLO Lumumba. I also know that he has met a few Ministers, including the Ministers who were there during this Anglo Leasing scandal. I hope he will ensure that the issue of mutual legal assistance will be fast-tracked and, therefore, we will be able to put this ghost to rest, once and for all. Until and unless he is able to recover billions of shillings that were lost through this scandal, empty words will not help us. We want to see more action in his work. Anglo Leasing scandal is one of those where we want to see a lot of work done. Once we pass this Motion, I believe he will be able to move with speed and recover some of this money."
