    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute. At least, there is something on the Floor of the House. At least, there is something that shows that Members of Parliament have done their part. I hope it does not end here. I hope that once it is tabled on the Floor of the House, the Committee on Implementation should look at it and make sure that the implementation of the recommendations provided by the Committee is followed to the letter. To produce such a big document, the public needs to know that this House has spent taxpayers’ money. As we stand here, the Goldenberg scandal happened during the Moi regime; the Anglo Leasing scandal during the Kibaki regime and NYS scandal is and will always be associated with the Uhuru regime. That is what we will always remember. That is what we will always know of and remember this regime for. Like during the Moi time, they let the Goldenberg scandal to slip through the system. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also stand here disappointed as a leader and a Kenyan that we, as Kenyans, do not learn. That, after somebody has been named the main suspect, the orchestrator, the planner and facilitator of the National Youth Service (NYS) scandal, the people of Kenya have let us down by making sure that they elect the same people to run for the office of the governor. With that, I am very disappointed - that even the party could let somebody like that get a certificate. For the House, especially when the leadership of the same party have been heard several times and have even accepted that the orchestrator of the NYS scandal is Ann Waiguru, they have the energy, power and the heart of even handing over the certificate to the same person who will be responsible for the billions of shillings that will go to Kirinyaga County. What is happening in this country? Each and every person in this country needs to go deep inside and search their souls and ask themselves if they are doing a favour to this country or spoiling it forever! We can sit here, go to the Press and blame the leadership and everybody. However, what is happening is more of an individual choice. That is because when somebody wakes up at 6 O’clock in the morning and goes to a polling station; he or she puts a tick on somebody who has been mentioned and it is not even a secret. She has been in public domain since that scandal started. Ann Waiguru is the one who orchestrated it and yet, people can still vote for her.
