    "content": "I want to point out that the leadership of this House, including the Leaders of the Majority Party, Leaders of the Minority Party, my able Deputy Speaker, the Whips and Chairpersons of Committees assembled in Naivasha for a round-table meeting with the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA). Two days ago, one daily newspaper with wide circulation had a screaming headline that the Speaker of the National Assembly said that Members of Parliament are stealing money from their bodyguards. They purported to quote the outcome of the meeting where Hon. Ichung’wah, Hon. Junet, Hon. Mwenje and Hon. Alice were. They purported that three Members of this House are the source of information. They went on to write an editorial and called Members inconceivable names like greedy and all sorts of things. That is far from the truth. Hon. Ichung’wah, when we were in Naivasha, you know there was no discussion of any sort about Members. Yours truly will be the last person to bastardise Members of this House having been here for as many years as I can remember. Hon. Junet is right. I will leave the Chair for another urgent meeting. The Hon. Deputy Speaker will take the Chair and allow Members to make their comments. Leader of the Majority Party, you can have a go. Let us have Hon. Silvanus Osoro."
