Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can see some of the Senators standing here exonerating IKM which is very wrong because you have not even interacted with the Report. As far as the letter by Sen. Olekina is concerned, the contact is very clear where the original manufacturers must apply for the contract. However, the company he mentioned here, they are not the original manufacturers. The letter he is mentioning is just identifying them as the agents. However, they did not have power of Attorney to sign that contract. That is the reason why we said that investigations should be carried out. ...

As far as we are concerned, General Electric (GE) was not the original manufacturer. That is the reason we did not go ahead to interrogate them. If you look at Pages 312 and 313 of the current Report, it is very clear. We have said: “Investigate and prosecute.” You can refer to the Report.

Therefore, it is hypocritical for some Members to stand here and say that we did not touch anything on General Electric (GE). We have even said in the Report that they have conflict of interest as far as IKM is concerned because they had a relationship with IKM before the contract of MES Equipment. That is in the Report.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, of course, I have to defend my Report. Let me go back to the point raised by Sen. Olekina. No, you raised it. There is no problem but I must defend the position of the Committee because we sat in that Committee and we have facts. Do not argue on points of law that you are not sure about. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate.

This is because the power of attorney is what authorized that individual to sign the contract. The letter you are talking about is a general letter. We are specifically looking at the Managed Equipment Services (MES). Did that company have powers? Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, we should not behave like we are representing contractors here. That is why I am saying that I have a right to my opinion. I must say it. We are not here to defend contractors. If you are here to defend contractors, go to the court of law and defend them there but not on ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me point out the issue of leasing versus direct purchase as far as the Committee’s position is concerned because MES was the contract for leasing. That is why the governors wanted the MES Project to be handled by them. They felt that leasing was more expensive and yet the equipment was not theirs. That is why we were comparing leasing and direct purchase. It is better to have even purchased that equipment directly than leasing them. Some of the equipment are not necessarily important for them to have been leased. That is the position of the ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is my observation and I am entitled to it. This will indict this House. Kenyans were really waiting for this Report. If it is killed today, this is the end of MES. This will be the end of the Senate as far as investigation and MES is concerned. I thank you.
