    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I have heard the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs refer to a case that involved me, personally. I have also heard her declare repeatedly that there is a personal interest in this proposed amendments by the Committee. First of all, I would like to put it on record that I have argued with the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) in that case whose judgement has just been tabled. I went to court to seek certain specific express declarations by the court, and that is: I cannot be asked to incriminate myself. Indeed, I asked that the court declare that the notice which had been issued to me pursuant to the sections in question were impossible to comply with. Indeed, both the High Court, that is, the constitutional court, and the Court of Appeal agreed with me. Therefore, as for the case which had been instituted against me, the prosecution by the KACC, was terminated unconditionally. I have no case in court and, therefore, I have no interest. The failure of the amendment by the Committee to go through will not affect my matter, personally. So, I want to put that on record."
