George Koimburi","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to apologise to my colleagues who are Members of this House. You read my letter last week on Tuesday, but I did not indicate why I was apologising. I was in church and I made a mistake by saying that the Members of Parliament who voted “yes” were bribed with Ksh2 million. I am here to say sorry to the Members because I do not have any evidence that they received any money. That was just a hearsay that I heard when we were voting during the Second Reading of the Finance Bill. I urge the Members to forgive me so that we move forward for the betterment of this country. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."}
