• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: (a) The investigations into 18 Anglo Leasing related contracts by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) in the UK have not been terminated. They have only been suspended in two contracts where the High Court has issued an injunction order stopping further investigations and prosecution. view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: (b) The Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) is doing its best to ensure that the matter is conclusively investigated and money and property stashed abroad are view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to these two contracts, I must say I will be very guarded because of the sub judice rule. We have filed an appeal and it is coming up for hearing on 2nd February, 2010. However, let me just mention something about the two cases, but not go too much into the content. It is the opinion of the Attorney-General that the ruling was completely wrong in law and cannot withstand a proper judgment and appreciation of the issues involved. It went completely wrong. In fact, I am agitated about it because it was wrong. ... view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, starting with the United States of America (USA), I speak with no fear of contradiction whatsoever by the Ambassador of the USA and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). The fact is that they have not succeeded in convincing the two key suspects. One of them was grossly involved, locally, in most of the Anglo Leasing deals. The other one was involved overseas in the same deals. I am not really blaming the FBI; let it not be misunderstood. The fact of the matter is that they would also be the very first ones to admit ... view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Attorney-General of the Republic of Kenya is not in the habit of blaming people. He is just in the habit of explaining matters. I have explained that part of the problem in the USA appears to be the law, which prohibits the competent authorities there from ensuring that their citizens comply with overseas investigations. That appears to be the law that is there. So, I have just explained that fact. view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am appealing to this House, starting with Dr. Khalwale, to rise up in unison to condemn and urge the Government of the USA to co-operate with our investigations, so that we can unearth the whole saga of Anglo Leasing. Now that I have informed you, please, speak up. I am quite sure that Dr. Khalwale is capable of speaking up. view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, all these cases arise from Kenya. The agreements relating to the Anglo Leasing scandals were made here. The fact of the matter is that, in order for us to apprehend the key suspects and the initiators of these projects, we need the assistance of foreign investigation agencies. Particularly, if we are aiming at getting our money back from wherever it has gone, we require the co-operation of foreign investigation agencies. That is why I want to put it on record that, at least, we are receiving assistance from the SFO of the UK. The Swiss authorities ... view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think we should be happy that, at least, we have the money. view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can only say what is within my competence; that is, I am happy the money was received. As to who refunded it, that is a different question which can be answered by the Ministry of Finance. view
