    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the quality of work, we did get interviews from all those people concerned and we recorded all the interviews verbatim. We made recommendations based on the findings that were factually extracted from the evidence given. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will note that yesterday, we had to stop the Business of the House temporarily to invite the Government to come and listen to what we were telling them. It is from that point in time that Ms. Karua came on board. From that listening of the deliberations, she has given us extremely good comments and I want to thank her on behalf of the Opposition and the Committee. She has made a few comments that are positive about the Report and that we must lead by example. It is not enough to talk about graft if you are actually corrupt yourself. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this House must also stand to be counted. Continental House was a sham, it is still a sham and it will continue to be a sham. Until we undo that, we will lose credence and credibility. It is important that the Tender Committee that bid for the purchase of Continental House and the Ministers then who procured it on behalf of the Treasury need to stand the test of time. I want to invite them to respond to the request by the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs to step aside and even get embarrassed to seek positions when they actually participated in an awkward trend of events where the house was procured for Kshs460 million and renovated for more than the cost of acquisition and yet it is still in the same state it was. It is a shame! We need to stand up to be counted for us to be credible. That is why, nowadays, I do not sign my name as \"honourable\" because \"some of us\" are quite dishonourable. We are so dishonest even with our own selves."
