    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are in a new constitutional dispensation where the chapter on integrity must be respected. For the first time, we must take full responsibility. We cannot run away from the fact that we are given Ministries so that we can supervise them. We even have our overall supervisor, who is the Prime Minister. If, today, even the Prime Minister who is supposed to supervise other Ministries, would run away and say; “I am not involved, just sacrifice the Minister, that cannot stand today. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if we are expunging any paragraph of this Report, then we throw it away. If we are not going to interrogate the facts in this document--- Everybody has admitted, including the Minister, the way money was exchanged and transaction was carried out, was faulty. Everybody is admitting that you cannot go to a bank and pay cheques in cash worth Kshs1 billion. We are dealing with a billion and not Kshs5. We have waited until a Committee of this House did investigations on behalf of the Government so that this matter can be brought into light. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I oppose this amendment."
