    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Tuesday 2nd December, 2008, both the print and electronic media reported that some present and former Members of the Ninth Parliament had been taken to Milimani Commercial Courts by the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) seeking to recover monies allegedly received fraudulently by the Members who were serving as Parliamentary Service Commissioners. As hon. Members are aware, it was reported that I was accused of having \"knowingly and fraudulently\" received Kshs5.6 million while serving as the Deputy Speaker of the Ninth Parliament. It is in this connection that I make this Personal Statement under Standing Order No.69. Mr. Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I want to declare that I did nothing wrong and obviously, this shall become very clear when the matter comes before court. However, I find it very strange that the KACC gave information on claims against hon. Members to the Press before the matter had been filed in court. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I speak here, this afternoon, no suit papers have been served on me, eight days since the matter appeared in the Press."
