    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion. I wish to congratulate the President for his Speech. But before I comment on His Excellency the President's Speech, let me thank you and join my colleagues in thanking you for coming to the defence of hon. 78 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 22, 2007 Members and elaborating the role that we play. Last night, Messrs. Angwenyi, Muturi and I spent the best part of the evening on Nation Television (NTV) trying to convince the Kenyan public that Members of Parliament actually work. However, I regret the perception out there is still that hon. Members do not work and that there is a lot of work to be done. Mr. Speaker, Sir, a few days ago, I watched in complete disbelief as one Rev. Githii of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) Church castigated hon. Members of this House and made very serious allegations regarding them. I want to say that I have a lot of respect for religious people. But what I heard Rev. Githii say about this House, that 70 per cent of hon. Members practise witchcraft; and that Members of this House worship the devil because of the frog and serpent statues that are around, I would like to say this: Rev. Githii should be told that the Kenya National Assembly is not part of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa."
