    "content": "The President touched on corruption. Following his statements in this Chamber, we have seen a lot of action on his part. Right now, many Government officers and businessmen have been arraigned in court facing charges, but some of us have been apprehensive about the approach that the Government and agencies in charge of corruption are taking towards addressing this dragon. I would like to use this forum to propose to the President that the best approach he needs to employ urgently is to appoint an anti-corruption czar in his office. What we have seen are small fish arraigned in court and charged with corruption while I believe corruption cannot be addressed only when “small people” are arraigned in court. We need to see the big fish and whales being apprehended and charged in court. I would like the President to borrow what President Kibaki did in 2002. He had an anti-corruption czar in his office who pursued even the CSs and other officers who were considered to be big fish or whales.
