    "content": "things that were in the Adjournment Motion by Hon. Junet yesterday, including the unfortunate reference to the 2007 post-election violence. These are people who have no agenda for this country. All they desire is chaos and anarchy in our country. Hon. Speaker, I plead with you as the Chair of the Powers and Privileges Committee. Irrespective of what the National Police Service, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) or the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) do with Hon. Koimburi, the Powers and Privileges Committee must be seized of this matter. I also want to speak to the people of Juja. They are a great people who have been denied proper representation in this House. I do not want to discuss the Member, but the people of Juja are suffering. I have been there and I know. Right now, I am addressing issues, in my office, touching on electricity connectivity in Juja. Their Member of Parliament had the audacity to send them a message on a WhatsApp group, telling them: “You can go ask for your electricity from Ruto. I left that Government.” Whether you are in Government or not, you are elected as a Member of Parliament to represent your people. When they ask you for services, answer them in a dignified manner. The police have done their work. The DPP must do his work. The EACC must do their work under Chapter 6 of the Constitution on the matter of ethics of public officers that Hon. Kimbra has contravened. The Powers and Privileges Committee, which you Chair, must now be seized of this matter and take necessary action. The people of Juja must know that they can recall a Member of Parliament who is not working, not serving their interests or not representing them. He is a Member of Parliament who believes that his only work is to accompany another man to funeral gatherings and other social gatherings, singing songs of praise to the man. I pray especially to you, as our Chair of the Powers and Privileges Committee, to do something not because of Hon. Koimburi but to save the dignity and honour of the office of Member of Parliament. I submit."
