Heated debate in parliament over scandal

The spotlight on the cemetery saga is now turning on Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi following the suspension of several top officials yesterday. The Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission says it is investigating whether the minister played any role in the 283 million shilling scandal. KACC spoke as Parliament demanded more answers from the Ministry of Justice.

i hate to sound like this but if our own politicians dont give a fuck about us then why should we care about them. so heres the plan, hire a suicide bomber and have them go to parliament where all these "politicians" are meeting and blow them the fuck up. As bad as that sounds they are killing us slowly by stealing all our money!i think thats the only solution to kenyans coz these so called politicians will never change. hell im 21 and its the same ass old people still running the gova. WHY?!!!!

How can public officials, more so elected officials who are supposed to defend public interest on behalf of the people they serve or represent, demonstrate such blantant disregard of their core duties? Do these officials have a conscience? Public services in Kenya are grossly inadequate due to lack of funds, yet these officials don't see anything wrong with purchasing a defective product at an atrifially inflated price to ensure over KSH 250, 000, 000 in kickbacks.

@Omena2012 ask Kibaki to do so.......he made it very clear that he is the one who has the POWER. (I get your hypocrisy message though)

[SCSAZM]

i thought raila is not supposed to''has no powers to ask any minister to step down..'' so why dont you ask kibaki to ask mudavadi to step down....

Yes he is lost for words. Unless systems are systematically overturned we going nowhere-Kila tribe thinks its their turn to steal- even from the living and the dead, whatever. There are no rules of engagement.

@333 I share ur sentiments. Everyone we place in public trust turns out to be a thief. Which brings to the fore the hypothesis we held here for lon: Corruption is ethnically blind! Replacing the Kikuyus with Kalenjin didn't help stem the vice in the 19thC...now Western Province Luos and Luhyias are sparing nothing not even for the Living Dead!

[Omena2012]

Where are all those Nyanza politicians who were so quick to tell Ongeri and Ruto to step down? If these politicians were truly for National interest, and not trying to settle old scores with those whom they disagree with, or anyone that belongs from PNU, then they should tell Mudavadi to step down.

Mr.Prime Minister, you said that it wasn't personal a month ago when you suspended two ministers . Please, tell Mudavadi to step down and we will believe that you are not just another Politician.

[MrMujama]

A country of scandals.There is at least two per month.What a waste! My sympathies to the poor Kenyans being exploited by the goverment.Kenya needs a Manager and not a President, CEO'S and not M.P'S.i HAVE A DREAM!

Mutonyi is out of his depth here, he looks breathless. Maize, Education now graves? Always a new corruption scandal every month. I wonder what April has in store for us?

Siasa: Poor me. Unfortunately I have now decided to keep my backbreaking job in Germany just to avoid the Kenyan Corruption Tsunami. Apparently the corruption disease is chronic and highly contagious!!! Advice to Kenyans in the Diaspora: unless we have a new constitution and a completely new Government in Kenya, please avoid employment in the Kenyan public service. It stinks. But please join the Kenyan peasants in fighting against corruption and impunity in Kenya.
