    "content": "matters of corruption. If we do not do it now, the electorate will make their decision come that time. It will also make our jobs difficult because we cannot sit here, legislate and speak on behalf of the public when ourselves we are not up to the job and worthiness of the task that we have been given. Although I support the idea of doing this internally, I would like to suggest that we should reshuffle the Committees and make them work with the Government departments that exist. I do not know how many they are but I do not think many of them work equally according to the Cabinet Ministries and the Government portfolios that we have. The second element is that, if we are not able to do it ourselves, we should remove the Committee on Privileges that we have and be open to scrutiny to the public like any other Kenyan; be accountable and transparent. In that sense, those people who are suspected to be corrupt among us should be taken to Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and be dealt with equally just like any other Kenyan. It is really hurting that we are all lumped together. Every headline you see, hon. Members are this and that, be it one or all of us. In the public eye and opinion, we are all the same and therefore we need to clear our names and return the integrity and the public confidence in this august House. Hon. Silvanus Osele, the Floor is yours."
