    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Motion be amended as follows: By inserting the following words after the expression 2018 at the end thereof “subject to the insertion of the words “Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission” immediately after the words “Director of Criminal Investigations” appearing in Recommendation No.3 on Page 31. The import of this amendment is to ensure that EACC, an investigative agency duly constituted by our Constitution and the laws of this country, plays a role in investigating the Ruaraka land matter. It does not just concern the school, but other issues as well. If you read the Report, you will realise that the Ruaraka land is not about the 13 acres relating to the school. It is the entire parcel of 96 acres part of which had been sold to the General Service Unit. There is another portion that was sold to one of the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development agencies when the Outering Road bypass was being constructed. Therefore, I did not find it right that the Committee had recommended that only the Director of Criminal Investigation should investigate. The EACC is duly constituted under our laws to investigate all economic crimes. More importantly, this matter touches on issues to do with the GSU that fall under the purview of the Office of the President. Therefore, it is likely, that these investigations will touch on personalities in the Office of the President. So, it will not be right to restrict these investigations to the DCI because with due respect to his office, he may not be very objective. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
