• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have made reference to a loss of Kshs1.83 billion. It is imperative that this House is sufficiently convinced that, indeed, that loss was there. I want to beg hon. Members to go to Appendix No.2.

• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to beg hon. Members to support this Report and allow me to remember what the great American President, Abraham Lincoln, who felt for black people, said. He said, “If slavery was not wrong, then nothing in America was wrong.” I am saying today that this is corruption and if corruption is not wrong then nothing in Kenya can possibly be wrong. With those remarks, I beg to move and request Dr. Kones to second the Motion. view
