    "content": " Thank you for that Communication, Hon. Speaker. We are well guided as per your directions regarding Hon. Koimburi. However, I am a bit concerned because last evening, a gentleman from his office whom I was told is his Constituency Office Manager delivered a copy of that letter to my office. It is also copied to the offices of Leader of the Majority Party and Leader of the Minority Party. When you raised the matter before the House Business Committee this afternoon, I confirmed Hon. Koimburi’s Personal Assistant delivered the letter to my office. The copy that was stamped in my office had only one stamp. The Personal Assistant had another copy which was stamped twice. At one instance, the rubber stamp was upside down and, therefore, it was stamped twice. Hon. Members and Kenyans will note that this is the letter that was circulating on social media. I took great offence with my staff when I suspected that they had circulated a letter on social media before I even saw it. I saw it when I was already at home after 8.00 p.m. What worries me is that immediately that letter circulated on social media, Hon. George Koimburi stamped it as fake on his Facebook page. It is the same letter that you have alluded to now. You have asserted that you spoke to him and he has confirmed that it was his letter. Even as he comes to shed light on what he said on the matters that were complained about, his behaviour last evening, today and the days before that brings into disrepute not only his image as an Hon. Member of Parliament, but also the integrity of the office he holds. We will wait to hear from him. I want to bring to the attention of the House the kind of Member we are dealing with. Even as he comes on Tuesday, he should clarify whether this letter is fake. He said it was fake on social media, but he told you that he is the author. We do not know which Hon. George Koimburi to believe; the one on social media and churches, or the one who will be here. We will wait for him. I honestly do not know who the Member for Juja is now. He has too many faces. Thank you."
