    "content": "I am asking, if the police had the files of that theft in 2014, why did they have to wait until it came out in the media so that those people are aligned in court? In as much as we are supporting the President’s fight against corruption, there are people who are sleeping on the job instead of investigating. Further, the President has directed that all finance officers, accountants and procurement officers be sent home. Around 1,000 of them had their files forwarded for questioning and prosecution. We stand a risk. In as much as I support this move, because it has to start since as a country we must start somewhere, I am also disappointed that we might be discouraging professionals from joining the Government. This is because we have innocent people who are qualified and who, while doing their job, will be embarrassed being accused of doing shoddy deals that they never did. As a country, we are saying eventually that we need to move from being reactive to proactive in our fight against corruption. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
