"content": "That letter is a public document and indeed let me say, under Article 35 of the Constitution, it is not only hon. Keynan who is a privileged member of the Kenyan society, every Kenyan is entitled to a right of access to information. Therefore, getting a document which was copied to the Chair Committees, indeed there is nothing mischievous about it. I hope hon. Duale even as he purports to hold brief for the Executive, he will also appreciate that we are living in a new world under a new dispensation. Therefore I am here to project, promote and protect the dignity of the 11th Parliament and this is one thing I will continue doing regardless of whether that document was illegally in my possession. It was not something that I picked from the Speaker’s Office. I am supposed to be one of the recipients because it was copied to me as the Chair of one of the Committees. The best way for hon. Duale to project the Executive here is to tell them the right thing to do. I want democracy in this House. Will I be in order to ask hon. Duale to withdraw his remarks because he has imputed improper motive on the part of hon. Keynan that I had the document illegally? I want him to withdraw unconditionally, apologize to me and the House, and then he can execute what he wanted to say."
