    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. If anybody in this country had doubts that the fight against corruption is real, there is no doubt. Somebody today asked whether the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) have added another agenda to Agenda Four (b) which is corruption. The work we are doing is important. Let me just say what the Chairman has not said in a very quick statement: We have actually learnt a lot in the process of interrogating this matter. Even the amount of money we gave the Kenya Revenue Authority has got a direct impact on the war against corruption. We were not aware. Madam Temporary Speaker, in our work that we are doing, we have discovered that some of the loopholes that are there in the law and are not being considered should come to the Floor. I have even proposed legislative amendments. Secondly, the Committee that is interrogating corruption – the multi-stakeholder meeting chaired by the Attorney-General, Mr. Kihara Kariuki, in fact, has requested to see us next week. They requested for more time to come and visit the Committee and give us their input so that we can all synchronize what we are doing. Our time has lapsed. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is an important subject. Therefore, I would like to support this Motion. In 30 days, we are going to do what the Solai Dam Committee did. We will uncover the snakes and bring the truth here so that this corruption---. We can do a death’s door. This is the time to slay the dragon. The dragon has grown big, but it appears as if there are men and women of this country who are ready to slay the dragon for real. I support."
