    "content": "I am glad that when he was answering questions before the Committee, his response on the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), was that the DCI is under a different section of the law and that the DCI is allowed by law to investigate corruption and other issues even though the EACC is supposed to do the same, but on different tracks. So, when some of our colleagues want to bring a Bill to change the law so that the DCI does not investigate corruption, we will be going in the wrong direction. The Constitution is very clear regarding that. Mr Kinoti, the DCI, comes from Meru and he is doing a very great job. We want the DCI, together with the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) not to wander around saying that they have noticed a lot of corruption cases. We need people to be taken to court, so that we can see big heads rolling. We can then know we are serious in the fight against corruption."
