    "content": "deliver that Report would have been as challenging as the disappearance and malfunctioning of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee. We have refused to go that way because we believe in the independence of this Parliament. We believe that this Parliament must deliver because we have a responsibility to the Kenyan people. You brought the job, we will prosecute it. I just want to conclude with one particular remark. It is very easy for us to hide. We want to rush everything. We want to deny people on the argument of dealing with the culture of impunity. Which is more of impunity, when the good lawyer will tell you that you have to prove anything beyond a shade of doubt? Everyone has integrity and everybody has a reputation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I cannot bring a name of a Member of this House or a citizen of the Republic of Kenya when allegations have not been corroborated and are through third parties. It is completely irresponsible for the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs to think that because of the culture of impunity, we should just accept any trash that is brought before the Committee. We must confirm that there is minimum credibility in those allegations. We even added an extra day in order to allow the matter to be prosecuted. We allowed another day to allow the candidates themselves to respond to the issues that had been raised. Apart from a few people, we are extremely satisfied that the process we had put in place was very good. What we agreed on, on Thursday are not the same things we agreed on, on Tuesday. This is because some people listened to the news too much over the weekend. I beg to support."
