    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have been colleagues in the struggle for a very long time. I do not know why you had not seen me. I also rise to support the Bill on Leadership and Integrity especially in clauses 10 and 11 regarding the performance of duties by a public officer and professionalism. I think that is what has been lacking. If we gave Kenyans that, we shall have achieved a lot and the hue and cry from the civil society should be ignored. I believe that some people here have an intention of locking out some people from contesting in the elections. I think we know how to assess our own leaders when they are good or bad. Somebody can be bad in the society but can also be very good or is liked somewhere else. I believe that we should allow all the candidates who want to contest for presidential or governors’ seats. Let them be given an opportunity just the way hon. Martha Karua has put it that the highest court is that of public opinion. With those few remarks, I beg to support this Bill."
