    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I said “all of them”, I withdraw the words “all of them”; but some of them are, indeed, in court. I think in modern democracy, we need to respect whistleblowers, because they try to highlight what they feel is wrong in that particular Sacco. Whistleblowers against us, Ministers, the Speaker or anybody should be encouraged, particularly when they identify themselves. So, I am declining to name them because that would amount to something not very good to be picked by the Press; I do not really feel comfortable doing that. So, I beg to continue. I have already covered the issue of death threats. I said that we asked a direct question to the Director of the CID, Mr. Muhoro; it is in the HANSARD and also in our minutes. Nowhere in the whole Republic we have anybody who has recorded a statement claiming that he was under threat. There was the alleged fraudulent purchase of Class A shares of Co-operative Bank Holdings worth Kshs19.95 million by Gina Din Corporate Communications Sacco. The Committee observed that the transaction was clean. In our evidence, we found out that the Minister for Co-operative Development and Marketing is, indeed, a small shareholder in Gina Din SACCO, which is based in Nairobi, and the transaction on Class A shares was reserved as a transaction between co- operative societies, which are themselves shareholders in Co-operative Bank of Kenya."
