    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Assistant Minister. I want to make very good use of those three minutes. I would like to start by advising that the Minister has nothing to do with some of the mess for which we are blaming him. These are contracts which were entered into by people who had ulterior motives. So, I would recommend to this House that we adopt a strategy of hiring international investigators and international attorneys such as Church & Church of UK, who have been on this business for over 200 years, specialising on contracts which are based on fraud and dubious characters, so that we can find a way of getting out of this mess. There is little we are getting from the Attorney-General’s Chambers. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, every time we go deeper and deeper into this problem, I sympathise with Treasury, who are crucified for sins they did not commit. The Treasury tries to escape one way or the other, but they are fixed by their own people. So, I would recommend that we advertise, within this financial year, for serious international investigators to come and investigate the many “John Mututhos” of this country with a view to recovering the money we lost through this mess. From there onwards, Treasury can engage in financing productive sectors like the new proposed fertilizers factory, which is a worthwhile project. We can also go into agricultural production, so that we do not have the service industry taking up everything at the expense of the production sector. I thank the Mover of this Motion for coming up with such useful ideas. I look forward to Treasury not viewing us as adversaries but rather as allies so as to make sure that in the next couple of days, through this House’s Budget Committee, we help Treasury to get out of this mess, so that Kenya can progress forever. With those remarks, I beg to support."
