    "content": "or accused of adultery be stoned to death, unfortunately, it looks like the same punishment was not prescribed for men. It was just for women to be stoned to death and yet it takes a man for a woman to commit adultery. Tonight, because the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya is just like the Law of Moses, it says if you are found guilty of political adultery, you should be stoned to political death. It is called impeachment. You are sent into political purgatory for 10 years. You cannot run for office. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must deal with the law as is. The law as it is requires us that the woman or the man accused of adultery must be stoned to death in this Chamber. That is the law as it is. However, we must make sure that we bring those other men and women who commit and encourage people to go into adultery so that they also face the same sentence and judgement. I am convinced that political adultery has been committed in the case before us. There has been a conversation about a dubious shareholding structure of the Republic of Kenya. If the Republic of Kenya was a corporation, as we have been told or if it was a political party, then we would have 56 million equal shareholders from Moyale to Vanga, Nyatike to Ndhiwa, Bumala to Malaba. It cannot be restricted to a geographical entity called a mountain. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am convinced that political adultery has been committed in the intimidation and threats to judicial officers and in public attacks on our intelligence service. Where I come from, if you find your father naked, you do not proclaim his nakedness, you cover him. We cannot then proclaim the nakedness of our intelligence service. I am convinced that the Deputy Speaker has committed political adultery. Sorry the Deputy President."
