"content": "I want Hon. T. J. to listen to me. As we stay here today there is no issuance of promissory notes by the National Treasury. But, this was done after the many scandals including Anglo- leasing. Today, I can tell you we are fighting corruption. The moment, as a House, we introduce the issuance of promissory notes by contractors they can go to my constituency and do shoddy work or not do it and sue the Government because they are holding that note. I am telling you. So, as much as we feel we are helping our people to hold some documents, ultimately, that will be counterproductive in the war against corruption. Ask yourself why the Government stopped the issuance of promissory notes in the last 10 years. The reason was it was like Anglo-leasing where people would supply hot air but they have something to sue the Government in 10 or 20 years to come. Hon. Moses Kuria, you must look at the implications. We agree with you that you are helping the people of Kenya but we are opening another floodgate."
