    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have no words to express my disappointment. However, I want to take this opportunity to thank PAC for coming up with these very good recommendations - thirty of them. Almost all my points have been said. I am a bit disappointed as a Kenyan that Waiguru - who I have read so much about - could still have the courtesy to go to the good people of our good county and ask for votes. As my colleague from Trans Nzoia just mentioned, it is a sorry case and, therefore, we are hoping that the good people of Kirinyaga will listen to us and not punish us twice by re-electing Ms. Waiguru. I have nothing personal about it, but given what it is--- I am in the Committee of Implementation and they have come up with thirty good recommendations. All we need to do is to make sure that they are implemented. The Committee has come up with 30 recommendations and I have looked at all of them. Some of the recommendations are quite clear and the best thing we can do for this country, as Members of the Committee on Implementation--- I do not see any of my colleagues here, apart from Hon (Dr.) Otuoma. I want to promise this House that once we adopt this Report, we will make sure that each of these recommendations by the Public Accounts Committee is implemented to the letter. Any agency that will be called upon to implement whatever recommendation that has been put forward and does not do it--- I hope we will adopt this Report today so that it can come before the Committee on Implementation for us to follow up on the matters that have been raised. We will see to it that within sixty days, the implementation takes effect. In other jurisdictions like in the Far East, all those people mentioned in this Report--- We have to blame the Budget and Appropriations Committee of this House. We know that Supplementary Budgets were passed here. They should have been scrutinised. Those people should not have been given a lot of money. In any case, the Ministry did not have the capacity to absorb that amount of money. The first time, the Ministry misused Kshs671 billion and all the former Cabinet Secretary (CS) could say is that she was a whistle-blower. Given what I have heard - I have not read the report exhaustively – it is said that she took part in the stealing and somebody somewhere protected her. The first time I heard a statement from State House, it was said that she was innocent and that she was only a whistle-blower. From this recommendation by the Committee, it is clear that she was part and parcel of the thieves that stole our money. If we were in China, she could have faced a firing squad. I am disappointed, but I am also very clear on who is supposed to do what. Let us adopt this Report and see how we can deal with those thieves. I support the Report."
