    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First of all, I support this Motion. I also want to say to my colleague, the Leader of Government Business and the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs that I am the Chief Whip and not a Deputy. Secondly, I did not get any communication from hon. Raila. I was in his office at 12.30 p.m. up here in Parliament for 20 minutes and, at no time, during my discussions with him, did he indicate that he wanted this Motion to be put off. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to echo the words of hon. Onyonka, the President has told this country in the recent past that anybody tainted with corruption has to step aside, so that investigations can be conducted. If they are found guilty, they have to go and if they are found innocent, they have to be reinstated in the Government. It works that way in every civilization. That is the way we should be taking Kenya. I do not think there is going back on the issue of corruption. There is no going back on the issue of grand corruption! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am a Whip in this Government and, today, I am following my conscience. Even if I had received that communication from the Prime Minister, I would have told ODM that today is a new day."
