• 15 Nov 2018 in Senate: We recommended that Dr. Matiang’i, the former Cabinet Secretary for Education, should take personal responsibility because he had been informed by a task force that that piece of land was public land. However, he went ahead and confirmed the transaction. view

• 15 Nov 2018 in Senate: We also met officers working for the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). In their submission, they clearly stated that the two companies were not registered with the KRA and as such they are not tax compliant. What exactly are we doing when we say we want to protect public money? On one hand, we are borrowing money left, right and centre but on the other hand, officers of the KRA are saying they cannot raise the money. In fact, before releasing the Kshs1.5 billion, the first thing I would have expected to happen was that hypothetically, if that land was private ... view

• 15 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, I would like to go straight to our recommendations, which I stand by. I believe that the only way we can get justice is for the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC) to move expeditiously to recover the Kshs1.5 billion and put it back into the public coffer. I strongly believe that the Chairperson of the NLC should take personal responsibility like we have recommended in the Report. I believe that the then Cabinet Secretary for Education, Dr. Fred Matiang’i, should also take personal responsibility on ... view
