    Raila is simply asking the PAC to do some fact finding before summoning the minister of finance. He clearly states the the procurement report was at the Prime Ministers office and they should have perused it before coming up with allegations of corruption. But my question is why the PM didn’t speak up about the report when the finance minister was being summoned?

    Raila is stupid to think KIKUYUS will ever vote for him even if he changes his name to Kimani.

    This man is naive. he is defending Uhuru, the very man who has sent a message to him via the FUND RAISING @ PAN AFRIC

    Hon. Raila you are totally wrong, out of order and it is obvious that you are not aware of the powers of the parliament. Parliament should be and is the most powerful arm of govt . In my humble opinion you need to get back to work and stop whining like a child. If you think the parliament should not investigate the vw passat scam then you are not standing up for kenyan. agwambo we kuodo wich…Raila you are not above the law and stop meddling in parliamentary investigation. GO PAC.

    Raila for once I disagree with you. Parliament account committee has a right to summon any public official to explain certain things in the interest of the nation. Even here in the UK, its own PAC does the same thing, so I do see why it is wrong when the same happens in Kenya. As for Nyongo, please get some sleep and can someone get the mic off that Githae, he is becoming an irritant.
