"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I need not respond to such innuendos from hon. Khalwale, who, as history will judge him, wasted the time of this House. He misled this House and used the Motions of this House on other matters and he has been regretting that day, apologising to me since then. He has been coming and saying: “I made a mistake.” The HANSARD will bear me witness. You can look at all those allegations that he made against me. He knows that he was totally misleading the House. I do not want to use the other word. Be it as it may, the point is that when we make allegations in this House, we must remember that the Kenyans we are making the allegations against are not here to defend themselves. They have families and, therefore, their integrity and reputation need to be protected. We cannot use the privilege that we have in this House to tarnish the names and images of people and companies operating out there. That is one of the responsibilities that we have as Members of Parliament. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on that account, I beg to oppose the amendment vehemently and urge this House to join me in throwing it out."
