    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This Report has come at the right time. Let me congratulate the Committee for doing a marvellous job. If we adopt this Report as a House, we will save this country from mega corruption. I also want to commend Hon. Passaris because she spoke with a lot of passion. At the beginning, I was not listening to her but from the way she spoke and the passion she has for the poor of this country and the way she described some issues, I began listening. She said that if we do not fight corruption, then we will create more poor people in this country. If they have nothing to eat, definitely they will come to eat the rich. I am quoting her directly. This is a true statement despite the fact that she erred a bit by saying that if slay queens come to this House, then they will do a marvellous job. This Report touches on issues of State corporations. I was once a chairman of a State corporation. A lot of taxes of our poor citizens are vested in the hands of those we leave to manage State corporations. What they do is to impoverish this country. It is to make this country poorer day in, day out. I do not know where some of these State corporations receive audit reports because all of them have clean bills of health, they are not corrupt yet money is being lost. Let me pick some of the State corporations that we know. For instance, the Kenya Airways (KQ) is a State corporation doing business that is being done by Fly540, charging more than Fly540, having more aeroplanes than Fly540 but making more losses. Every day, we are resuscitating it."
