"content": "It is amazing, because it is through this vehicle that we are then going to either empower or disempower our country and, of course, the bigger platform of Africa. We need to put this very clearly. One of the things that I have actually been contemplating seriously is that we have to create sanctions in law for individuals who profiteer from public contracts without full disclosure. This is because we may end up committing debts to people unknowingly, yet we are benefiting privately. Recently, there has been the declaration that Kshs14.8 trillion is banked offshore from this economy. Now, if you do a quick calculation, if the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) is costing us Kshs326 billion –there has been serious claims that it is inflated; and I beg to agree, because we know how government projects are – how much can we do with Kshs15 trillion?"
