• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me quote from page 12 of the Report, which quotes extensively from Mr. Githongo's dossier, starting at paragraph four. It states as follows:- "On 17th May, 2004, according to Mr. Githongo, Hon. Murungi, MP, informed him that "they" were planning to attack him through his father. The conversation between the two had established "they" to mean Hon. Murungaru, MP, and Mr. Getonga. Mr. Githongo said he was getting increasingly concerned about the discomfort that the Anglo Leasing inquiries were causing to a small group of politicians and businessmen. Mr. Githongo then related an incident, which ... view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am referring to Page 12 of the Report. Please, check Paragraph four at the middle of the page. This section goes on to say:- 496 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 18, 2006 "Mr. Githongo then related an incident, which he said took place on 20th May, 2004 in the office of Hon. Murungi, MP. Hon. Murungi, MP, had invited Mr. Githongo for a meeting on that day in his office. When he entered, Hon. Murungi, MP, showed him a case file from the office of a Nairobi advocate, Mr. A.H. Malik, which related to Mr. Githongo's father. ... view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think this is very unfair. view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope the hon. Member can give me my time because, as the Chair said when Mr. Mwiraria was speaking, I have been accused by the hon. Member interrupting me of fuelling an Anglo Leasing scandal that never existed. I am trying to prove to the House that it existed. view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on pages 13 to 14 of the Report, Ambassador Muthaura, the Head of the Civil Service, and Mr. Dave Mwangi, who was then Permanent Secretary in the Office of the President, told Mr. Githongo that they were prepared to deal with the issue of Anglo Leasing administratively. This was a message to Mr. Githongo that his investigations were not in the interest of the Government because the two could deal with the matter administratively. When a civil servant speaks like that, especially these two, administratively essentially means fudging the law. A civil servant can fudge the ... view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as usual, I was to table the document after referring to it. So, I do not think there is anything unusual about it. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, by 29th May, 2004, we did not really know who Anglo Leasing Finance Limited was. However, in November, 2003, US$1,922,22.22 had been paid out to the same firm. In March, 2004, just before Anglo Leasing was declared to be unknown, another US$1,922,22.22 was paid out. Unless the Kenyan Government is so rich and collected so much revenue that it paid out money without knowing who it was paying it ... view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am going by the evidence in this Report. I am raising my questions based on what is in the Report. The Report says that hon. Mwiraria, in his testimony, admitted that he was not interested in following up on Anglo Leasing and Finance Company Limited beyond the recovery of the money. It is in this Report. So, hon. Mwiraria may be right, but I am simply discussing this matter in the context of the Report. view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think my time will be extended because I am being unduly interrupted. It is clear that on 5th June, 2003 the then Comptroller of State House, Mr. Matere Keriri, wrote to the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance informing him of these Anglo Leasing contracts. The list of items projects was detailed in the letter to His Excellency the President. The items are in this letter, which I will make available to the House. So, the Questions I am asking are very pertinent. You cannot purge them from my speech. They are very pertinent. ... view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: What stops the Government from issuing letters rogatory, however difficult it is to issue them? It could, indeed, hire an expatriate to prepare them for it, if it cannot prepare them. What stops the Government from issuing letters rogatory for Mr. Keterring to appear before KACC, so that we can get the truth about the Anglo Leasing Affair? I know for certain that the American Government will be more than willing to receive letters rogatory and act on them. But the letters rogatory cannot be written on the other side, and so the stone must remain unturned. On the issue ... view
