    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I make my comments on this Motion, I would like to wish the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya, Rigathi Gachagua, quick recovery. He is still the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya as at 9.19 p.m. on the 17th October until any decision is made. We pray that God gives him the strength and good health to continue pursuing that responsibility. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the counsel for the National Assembly, that is, the venerable James Orengo began his opening statement with a quote from scripture. Allow me also to go to scripture. This time I will go to the book of John. In the book of John, Chapter 8, we get the story of the adulterous woman. Jesus Christ is teaching his disciples at the temple early in the morning. The scribes and the Pharisees, drag a woman to his presence and say: ‘This woman has been caught in the act of adultery’. The Bible says that she has been caught “in the very act of adultery.” What surprises me in this passage is that the woman who was caught in the very act of adultery has been produced, but the man who contributed to the adultery was not brought before Jesus Christ in the temple. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a man who has been brought before us for impeachment. We have been told that he has been a political adulterer and has grossly violated the Constitution and the laws of the Republic of Kenya. Adultery takes two to tango. Like that woman in the book of John, I do not know whether they went for the men who cajoled, seduced, connived with her and who paid her for the act of adultery. In this Republic of Kenya, we must drain the swamp of adultery. Today, just like back in the days when the Law of Moses required that a woman who had been convicted The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
