    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was not a Member of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). Hon. Members may be aware that prior to my election as Member for Mwingi South Constituency in 1997, I had served my country in various capacities, rising to the position of a senior Provincial Commissioner. During the over 35 years of my public service, I was held as a most honest, loyal and dedicated public officer. At no time, during those 35 years of my service, was I suspected, leave alone accused, of dishonestly misappropriating any public resource. Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Members may further be aware that whatever allowances that were paid to me as the Deputy Speaker, including the Kshs5.6 million, were so paid with the authority of the PSC, which body I believe is mandated by the Constitution of Kenya to do so."
