"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. In fact, they are in the process of getting out some of us today. The Floor of this House must not be used to malign Kenyans who have no ability or capability to be here to defend themselves. Yesterday, we had a case where one of our Committees was in the process of saying that the current boss of the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) was not there regularly. I took it upon myself as the Whip and spoke to Members. I said this is a career civil servant who has been where he is for 30 years and it would look very bad just because he did not meet certain peopleâs criteria or a certain tribal outfit, that we would go after him. It is good to go after the people who break the law not the people who are victims. I want to plead with this House that we use the Floor of this House correctly and we need to make a good example for our country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not a crime to be interested in politics. The more we say that P.L.O is not qualified simply because he was a candidate, that means some of us who have been candidates over and over do not have integrity. I think impression needs to be corrected. I think all of us here have credibility and would like, as young as some of us are, that even when we are not here, we still stay and get jobs which would be in the public service to serve our country, that we are trying to make good. I beg to support."
