Number one, and I am reading directly from that Report, is former President Daniel arap Moi; number two is Joseph Magari; number three is Joshua Kulei and number four is Multifacie Company Limited. Hon. Deputy Speaker, on the matter of repossession of assets acquired with monies obtained from Goldenberg affair, there was an attempt some time later when the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) ... view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Deputy Speaker. I am stressing that point about impunity because it is killing us. Impunity is killing us in this country. It is very clear from the Report I have just read that former President Daniel arap Moi was a principal architect and beneficiary of the Goldenberg scandal.
