    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my next question is: Who authorised the payment? These are questions we are asking. This is a process. It is like a factory. Who authorised the payment? It appears that, as seen in this Report of the Committee, the National Treasury authorised the payment of Kshs1.5 billion to Afrison Import and Export Limited without express request from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, further creating suspicion on the process. When this House wants money, the accounting officer, the Clerk, takes a request showing different votes like mileage, salaries and administration. Based on that request, the National Treasury releases the funds. According to the Committee Report, there was no request submitted to the National Treasury. They sat and found that one Mr. Mburu of Afrison needed Kshs1.5 billion and they just wired that money to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology wired it to Swazuri and Swazuri paid it. We are told that Kshs1.5 billion was sent to more than 20 law firms. We want as the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and the Director of Public Prosecutions are taking people to court, those law firms must declare who the owners are and the proceeds of that crime must be returned back to the people of Kenya."
