    "content": "about the question raised by hon. Milly Odhiambo. Are we accused collectively or an issue of three people would drag all of us and have us collectively accused? I am happy that you appointed someone of the calibre of hon. Moses Cheboi to chair the Powers and Privileges Committee. I am requesting that issues of corruption by Members of the National Assembly--- There is separation of power. The Executive and Legislature have politicised issues. We have to be fair, effective and subject it to proper investigation, instead of blanket condemnation where the media would pick and paint the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives as corrupt when the issue is touching on three people or a whole Public Accounts Committee (PAC) when the issue touches on five people. I think your indication on that ruling is very right. Let us not tarnish names of clean people who are committed to serving this nation and call them thieves. Today I have seen a donkey with words written on its sides. A donkey in my culture is not a very good animal. We do not even eat it. I have seen the words: “Mpigs stop raping our wives.” It was so bad. The other time you saw “ Mpigs”. We are honourable Members. What has brought us to this level? Who are those people who are trying to tarnish honourable Members’ names? I am sure 95 to 99 per cent of the Members of the National Assembly are clean and decent people."
