• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to add my voice to this Report and I support it fully. I would request the House to adopt it. My colleagues have said over and over again that we are losing our country to corruption. The worst part of it is that it emanates from the top. The institutions that we expect to protect the interests of this country are the perpetrators of the evils that are going on. When the NYS projects were started, I was one of the beneficiaries because my constituency got at least some cohorts. Some dams and ... view

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: One of them is the CBK. How did this gigantic theft take place without the CBK noticing it? They must have been complicit. There are high offices in this country that were involved in this scandal. Were they doing it for themselves or were they agents? Who is covering up who? I believe we should not only investigate those individuals, but also their masters. I suspect their masters were very much involved. There is no way such terrible looting could happen under the watch of the biggest offices in this country. Personal assistants to these masters are very much involved ... view

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: A few years ago, we had a maize scandal where a Minister in office would give chits to people to go and buy maize by mouth and sell it at exorbitant prices to millers. Somebody would make Kshs800 million without even moving a grain of maize from the stores of the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB). The same case happened with the Goldenberg and the Anglo Leasing scandals. For how long will the Kenyan taxpayer withstand this kind of looting? To cover up our problems, we go borrowing all over the world not knowing where the money to repay ... view

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: We have given our young children and our unborn children a burden. For how long will we withstand this as a country? We are breaking down as a country and Kenyans should know that. When you see people going all over the country singing that they have achieved a lot, you will laugh at them. The people they are addressing are starving, walking without clothes on their backs and their children are dropping out of school because of lack of school fees. Their factories have been closed and their livestock cannot even get grass because the forests have been depleted. ... view

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: All I can say is that we should not let this looting of the NYS go unpunished. We have heard about the perpetrators. One thing I have always asked myself about the NYS is the logic of removing Rugut on a Sunday. Who was preparing the way for this looting? I think that was the main reason. We should ask the person who said in public that they removed him because they were the ones with power and not small people like Waiguru to explain to us the reason. I suspect the reason was to ensure that the path was ... view
