• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Given that they received the Report when it was tabled before the House, it was very difficult for an ordinary hon. Member of this House to anticipate the goings on within the Committee. However, now that we have the picture, this is the time--- view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was only expressing my anxiety, but when the Committees meet, it is very unlikely that an hon. Member of this House will know the kind of allegations or information that is received by the Committees. We get to know the reports of the committees when they are tabled here. So, we are disadvantaged in a way because we will not have done an intervention much earlier than the time that the report is tabled. Mr. Speaker, Sir, however, my point was: Given the references made in the report that there was Cabinet approval, minutes ... view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that corruption is a major challenge and I would like to support the sentiments expressed by the Leader of the Official Opposition that let us not politicise this scam. When we move to the direction where your brother is touched, please, do not bring politics. Let us deal with your brother as a suspect to that conclusion.

• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: April 5, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 401 We cannot deal with the branches of a tree if we want to uproot it. We must get to the roots and uproot it. So, we need to get to the genesis of this matter all the way from 1997, from the Cabinet deliberations, deal with it firmly, and commit ourselves to a new cause. We have a new Kenya, free of corruption. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is also time that the deliberations of Committees of this House are made public. I do not see the secrecy in the findings of the Committees. We ... view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not receiving any challenge from any hon. Member in this House. I am sure they are afraid because they know the I direction I am moving to. view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am told that in the appendix to the Report, there is a list of the hon. Members of the Cabinet who attended the meeting which approved the Anglo Leasing agreement--- view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me correct the impression that I am trying to derail the debate. I would be the last person to derail the debate of such national importance as this particular one. My anxiety is, are we just scratching the surface, or do we want to get to the bottom of this matter? That is the challenge I am talking about. We need to get to the bottom of this matter. Let us not be afraid. It is the guilty who are afraid. When I say, let us name the architects, then you see the--- view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what remains secret is what the individual hon. Members of that Cabinet said. The final resolutions of a Cabinet is public information. The quorum which attended should be public information and nobody should be afraid to know who these people are. That is my point. 402 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 5, 2006 view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think that will greatly enrich this debate. This Report has some specific individuals who have been identified for further investigations. I was only going to add to the list of those who we can further investigate. That is in the direction of the recommendations of this particular Report. If you permit me--- view
