    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand under the provisions of Standing Order No.69 to make the following Personal Statement. You will recollect that during the debate on the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, in particular on the amendments relating to the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, on more than two occasions claimed that the Member for Kabete had a personal interest in the amendments proposed. I have here the minutes of the Committee on the Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs which considered the amendments and made its report to this House. I would like to table these minutes. You will note that, in fact, I was absent; I did not attend the meeting where the Committee considered these amendments. I would also like to add that I have absolutely no personal interest in this issue. We all want to fight corruption, but we want the war on corruption to be fought within the four parameters of the Constitution and the law. I would also like to table the letter which I circulated to hon. Members in response to a letter that had been circulated to hon. Members by an NGO called \"the Kenya Private Sector Alliance\", and which addresses the reasoning of the Committee, and what informed the Committee in making the recommendations it made. I have no personal interest. The criminal case for the client I represented was terminated. It is finished. So, I have no personal interest in the matter. I would like to table these two documents."
