PAC REPORT ON ANGLO-FLEECING.....a disappointment

Parliament formally adopted the report of the watchdog Public Accounts Committee, giving the Government the green light to investigate key figures in the Administration and to implement a raft of recommendations within two months.

While this is indeed laudable, somehow I sense a deliberate attempt by PAC (and by extension ODM) to cast aspersions on the integrity of the president.
This may seem to be in defense of the president but "in doing so, MPs accepted that President Kibaki himself was fully aware of the affair because he was briefed by former anti-corruption czar John Githongo. And specifically, the House rubber-stamped for action the recommendation that the conduct of Vice-President Moody Awori should be investigated over the procurement of the Sh2.7 billion passports system from Anglo Leasing."
to quote The Nation.

Githongo did this country proud by exposing the endemic corruption especially in the sensitive security procurement sector. In the process though, he exposed the presidency. God forbid if he ever taped the president! That would be high treason!

Anyway that's besides the point.

Indeed all those implicated in the scam should face the full wrath of the law.
Mwiraria, Awori, Muthaura et al...should be prosecuted NOT investigated as per what the PAC recommended.
Talk of politicians being selfish!
No wonder the whole house adopted the entire report by acclamation.They Ofcourse knew that investigations in Kenya, always come a cropper.

The PAC in its findings also called for Kiraitu's investigation for attempted cover-up of the scandal. Poor fella! Kiraitu is one of the brightest brains this country has ever produced. It's a shame he allowed himself to be sucked into the corrupt system.
Isn't it ironic one Murangaru is actually missing from the list of those to be investigated?
A lucky one ,this man from Kieni!
The wider ramifications of this adoption is that the President will have to order his officers to appear before Pac and to give evidence before the committee on the 18 Anglo Leasing-type contracts because they are barred from appearing before the committee without his permission.
Our public service, and all its ineptitude?? I dont expect much from the officer. Given the fact
that some may have benefitted from the same scandals and many others in the past, we should not expect them to implicate themselves. They will protect their interests and those of their masters at all costs

The KACC is expected to "speed up" its investigations into the scandal and present its report.
What a load of crap!
"speed up" in Kenya is equivalent to consulting, summoning, arraigning and other juicy terms that are meant to slow down the process, while giving a false impression of swift (in)action!!
I can proclaim that we will never get to the bottom of anglo-leasing and indeed all those so called "18 anglo-leasing type" contracts' scandals!!
Not in this term. probably after 2012! (yea thats right, after Kibaki's second term)
I began by questioning the insinuation by PAC that the president was privy and probably consented to the affair.
This is not only outrightly malicious, but its an affront on the integrity of the presidency and indeed of the people of kenya.
One cannot fail to notice a veiled attempt by Kanu ( and probably ODM) to settle political scores.

Therefore, all those who tried to rip us off, should be castrated and hanged (for lack of a worse punishment)
Those who tried to assist them in one way or the other yani akina awori, muthaura, kiraitu etc
should be prosecuted and barred from public offices in future!!
The politico-hotheads who are trying to reap maximum polical capital from this scandal,
akina uhuru, raila (in short odm) should fuck off to siberia or mars, for all i care!
Mwishoe, Githongo should come back home. His continued dalliance with western powers
smirks of unpatriotism!


ps.
THE LITTLE GENERAL ELECTION
Following last week's tragedy and the subsequent final rites, the political knives are being sharpened and readied for battle!
In as much as I have tried to find a shred of dignity in one Agwambo, I simply cannot.
He was the first to delve into the issue of the by-elections. Barely hours after the burials,
YANI HE COULD NOT LET US MOURN OUR LEADERS TO OUR HEARTS CONTENT?
What does the dude do? he comes out with his usual crap on the supposed ODM/LDP strategy.
Anyway he is a politician. They never learn.
One thing he must note is that Nakuru will never elect any of his psycophants!!
I can bet my ass on this. Judging by the referendum results for Nakuru, ODM knows its
will never reign in Nakuru. Infact whoever wants to contest Nakuru's seat, had better allign himself with Kibaki.
Its pretty simple really, The majority of the electorate in Nakuru is basically KIUK... hate it, but thats a fact! Need I say more?

As for the other vacant seats, They will prove a testing ground for ODM's fickle unity. KANU is bound to be wounded and I doubt if LDP will not be tempted to field its psycophants in the four Nothern Kenya seats.
Their fallout might actually gift NARC which could concievably win a seat or two.
All in all the power is now in our hands.
