    "content": "The other recommendation on page 467 is that EACC should expedite completion of investigation of irregularities in the retention funds for Financial Years 2006/2007, 2007/2008, 2008/2009 and 2009/2010. We are in the Financial Year 2018/2019 right now. This is almost 10 years down the line. I am aware that the new Chief Executive Officer of EACC is being recruited right now. This House must ensure that the capacity of EACC is enhanced. If we are talking about asking EACC to investigate matters of 2006 right now, when will they investigate matters of 2010, 2013 and 2011? We are talking about a backlog in the area of investigation. I have looked at this Report keenly. There is a recommendation about EACC to engage in certain aspects in every ministry. It therefore means that just by reading this Report, you can clearly see the magnitude of corruption in this country. There is no single ministry where a recommendation for investigation by EACC has not been given. It therefore means that corruption is the order of the day in this Government."
