    "content": "Secondly, we want the new CEO to deal with cartels that have held EACC captive for a long time. Those cartels are there. That is why we have had changes in the EACC all the time because the cartels have been involved in ensuring that EACC is not functional. We hope that Mr. Twalib will help us in dealing with the inefficiencies at EACC. Most importantly, the fight against corruption should not be sentimental because we know that in 2012, during the Grand Coalition Government, the then Attorney-General, Prof. Githu Muigai, wrote a letter to the World Bank requesting them to provide a list of the beneficiaries of the Kshs72 billion which are stuck in Swiss Banks. We are told that the list was given but, up to date, the Government has not published it. If the Government is serious about the fight against corruption, it should start by publishing the list of all individuals who are holding accounts in Swiss Banks. We should know the banks that are holding the Kshs72 billion. Then we will know that, indeed, this Government is serious in fighting corruption. Otherwise, we support the Report but I think the Committee should have done much better by telling us a lot more about what made the nominee to leave EACC in 2004. It was important for this Parliament to know the reasons why he left EACC."
