    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I apologise. I have been called names. People have called me names. It is a shame that this Parliament cannot dare discuss a Report of its own Committee so that we can either accept or reject it. That way, people out there will know what the Committee did. The Report is there and was prepared at a great cost of over Kshs100 million. We spent over Kshs100 million of taxpayers money, yet this House has refused to discuss the Report. They are asking us to go home. There is still a lot of business to discuss. I want to plead with this House not to go on recess until we discuss this Report by the Committee investigating the Death of Dr. Robert Ouko. I want to plead with the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs to withdraw this Motion. I want to plead with hon. Members to reject this Motion. We can discuss the Report in one day so that I can live freely like a bird and say that I have done my bit for this country, as small as I am. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that the Government has the power to do anything. They can even tell us to go home. If we go home and this Parliament is dissolved, this Report may never be discussed. What is it that these Members of the House Business Committee hold against hon. Members of this House that we cannot discuss it? Some of them who have been named adversely in that Report, go all over the world gallivanting, giving instructions to Kenyans about which parties to support and which ones not to support. Some of them have monies and walk around showing that they have a lot of it, trumpeting their money left and right, saying that they will do this and that because of what they have. Why can we not discuss this Report? I beg to oppose and say that I am sorry that I got a bit emotional."
