    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am not sure if there is anything left to say after the Member for Emurua Dikirr. Sometimes you wonder whether he is in Opposition or in the Government or in KANU. He is a logical man. I have been listening from the time the Chairman of the PIC started to move this Report and it is the most depressing thing to listen to. I think the centre has caved in. I do not think there is anything left of our country. A few months ago, I tried to constitute a Select Committee to investigate Chase Bank, Imperial Bank and Dubai Bank. I saw the connivance to have the issue sent to the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade and immediately, Chase Bank was taken over by KCB. I do not know under which laws this Chase Bank was revived. This same Chase Bank, which is in this corruption, is the one that I suspect knows something about Eurobond. The day Bruce Odhiambo appeared before PIC and admitted that he single-handedly stole public funds, I said in the media that if he is not arrested, it means there is negative will to fight corruption. Indeed, there is in this country. How can a public servant who has no qualifications, admit before Parliament and walks away free the way Bruce Odhiambo did? I am told by none other than Semalang’o, the former chair of this Fund, that he refused to give in to these suggestions of corruption in the YEDF. That is why the President brought his high school friend. The only qualification Bruce Odhiambo has is that he is personally known to the President. How low can we sink? Just because somebody is known to the President is put to manage a budget that requires policy and thinking. Youth money is no good to the youth without proper youth policy."
