    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you look at the evidence that Mr. Mulwa has submitted, that he received a call from the Deputy President, who is a high- ranking state official. Then, he went to the EACC to collect evidence, which the EACC had gathered for the purpose of submitting that tender to the Deputy President or his contact, in this case, his son. What we are saying is that the act by the Deputy President constitutes a violation of the provisions of the Leadership and Integrity Act, specifically Section 34. That amounts to bullying and, to that extent, we are submitting that the charge has been substantiated in all its four corners. On the second question, it appears there is a misnomer. To prove an economic crime, you do not have to prove that there was a loss of funds. An economic crime occurs when a sitting Deputy President in a tendering process makes a call which the recipient interprets in a different way perhaps to influence the tendering process or for certain decisions to be made in favour of that person. The person who is making the call is a sitting Deputy President. This is why the provisions of the Constitution prohibit conflict of interest."
