    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. This is a House of records. I remember the same incident happened in the last Parliament. Hon. Aden Keynan and I were on Citizen TV on Monday discussing matters of BBI referendum. I was surprised when Hon. Caleb Kositany, Member for Soy came out clearly saying that Members were moving around with money to bribe other Members and he was approached. Since we were on national television, we wanted him to substantiate and we gave him a caution that it could land him in the Committee of Parliamentary Powers and Privileges, because such matters are not allowed as per our Standing Orders. He was very confident. So, it is not just Hon. Kuria alone. Hon. Kositany and Hon. Ndindi Nyoro have been on record. Maybe they are not aware of the Standing Orders. It is your responsibility, Hon. Speaker to maintain the dignity of this House. Maybe they said out of ignorance. If they cannot substantiate, our Standing Orders are very clear, they should be put on defence and if not, because a precedent has been set, they should be named. The dignity of this House must be maintained."
