    "content": "The Anti-Money Laundering Bill that we passed here a few years back is not helping. I want to ask the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) to be more punitive to commercial banks that engage in such malpractices. Some of them are notorious and known. If you want to steal money, you open accounts in some specific banks in this country. In this case, Chase Bank played a clear role in aiding and abetting corruption. This Ministry was headed by Ms. Ann Waiguru. It is interesting that the former CS presided over looting of funds from the NYS, the YEDF and I do not know where else. I have not heard any action taken against her. The lady should be in prison by now. I do not see why she should be walking around scot-free and even contemplating running for a public office in this country. The impunity that is taking root in this country must be stopped at whatever cost. The only way to do it effectively is to start from the top. I would want to ask the President to form a multi-sectoral committee. I see him inviting people to State House. The people of Kenya want to hear the progress that the committee has made in terms of fighting corruption. We want to know the big fish with serious cases. We are not interested in cases that that have been filed in court for Public Relations purposes and hoodwinking Kenyans to believe that something is happening on corruption. I would want to see people being prosecuted properly in court, with proper evidence being adduced because the evidence is there. You do not expect a salonist to steal Kshs1 billion from public coffers without the help of big people, or Mr. Ngamao to have the confidence of taking our money on his own. That building in Lavington must be given back to the people of Kenya. Even if he lives there with his family, they must be evicted so that the ownership of the house can revert to the taxpayers."
