    "content": " Hon. Speaker, while I rise, I may be persuaded to agree with Hon. Duale but I want to disagree. Hon. Makali Mulu stood on a specific point of order. He stood under Standing Order No.108 and asked you to name the Member for Gatundu South. In the process, another Member also requested that you name Hon. Ndindi Nyoro. I think it was the Majority Whip. We are operating under Standing Order No.108. The matter, therefore, cannot be referred to the Committee on Powers and Privileges. I have no problem with Hon. Ndindi Nyoro naming anybody, including Hon. John Mbadi. He has the evidence. Our rules are very clear that you name and produce evidence. If you do not, you are forced to withdraw and the matter rests there. It will not be on Hansard. So, nobody should fear being named. If Hon. Ndindi has evidence, he should name the Member. We should in fact, encourage him to name the said Members. This issue of bribery has become a joke in this country and must come to an end. It is either you have evidence of bribery and we deal with it, or if you do not, you should not utter those words because we all have reputations. By the way, Hon. Speaker, if you mention that some Members, without specifying who, were bribed, then all of us stand indicted until you name the Members."
