    "content": "Hon. Speaker, this matter is so serious that it requires a bit of time for us, as hon. Members, to speak to. The Constitution requires us, as Members of Parliament, to deliberate on and, of course, resolve issues of concern to our people. If I may tell my colleagues what necessitates our interventions by way of what I call “fundraisers”, the best school in my constituency is Homa Bay High School. In the last one month, three dormitories were burnt down. In fact, Form Two and Form Three students have been away. They have not even sat for their end-year examinations. We do not have enough money. Who is better placed to mobilise the community to raise funds for us to have new dormitories before the new term begins? So, I was going to say that, in as much as the document has come to all of us, really, the EACC needs to appreciate and fully understand the roles that we play. The Commission should not be focussed on petty issues at the expense of the serious issues of corruption facing this country."
