    "content": "All I can say is that we should not let this looting of the NYS go unpunished. We have heard about the perpetrators. One thing I have always asked myself about the NYS is the logic of removing Rugut on a Sunday. Who was preparing the way for this looting? I think that was the main reason. We should ask the person who said in public that they removed him because they were the ones with power and not small people like Waiguru to explain to us the reason. I suspect the reason was to ensure that the path was cleared for them to loot. There is no way something like that could have been done without a very senior person doing it. We have had experiences in the past with the same people. Even though we castigate the lady, we must ask ourselves who was behind the grabbing of Ngong Forest at one time and selling it to some Government parastatal. Who was involved in the grabbing of some land in Lang’ata which was supposed to be for the aerodromes? Who was involved in many other scandals? They are the same ones who are running around saying that they are cleaners and they are neighbours. I think that is not the truth. There is the issue of the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS), which was abused. If the Kenyan Government knows that this IFMIS is prone to abuse or misuse, why have they not taken any measures to rectify the situation? I can only deduce that they did not want to do so because they want to loot even more, especially at this time when elections are around the corner. Another colleague just mentioned the maize scandal. I the morning, I mentioned that there are miracles in Kenya these days. You can order for maize from Mexico and in five days it arrives in Kenya. What is this? Somebody has the audacity to come and say: “I did not say the maize was coming from Mexico. I thought it was coming from Mexico.” How can a Government operative and one of the most senior officers in this country say he did not know? We must investigate who is behind that maize and whether the same cartels are behind it. This is as big a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
