    "content": "I oppose the Motion as a proud lawmaker. As lawmakers, we should not be the ones conniving to law breaking or being in the forefront breaking the law. Please, let us reflect back to January/February, 2008. We can assign all sorts of reasons as to why there was that violence. That violence was brought about by issues we have swept under the carpet. We have buried our heads in the sand. A fundamental law has been violated. It is for us to find ways and means of fighting impunity. How much longer shall we be saying So and So was given wrong advice. So and So has got wrong advisers. It is not for us to find reasons as to why one has violated the law. It is for us to fight the violation. I am referring to the reappointment of the Director-General of the Kenya Anti- Corruption Commission (KACC). This is an appointment that circumvented the Advisory Board and overlooked this House. We should not allow the Executive to get away with this. It is time for us to put our feet down and say enough is enough with impunity. I agree that we do have a country to look after and worry about. However, we cannot worry about this country, if we have no respect of the rule of law. That is fundamental. When they are broken one after the other, then we are giving away the country to impunity."
