    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, maybe my good friend was not very keen. I just mentioned that causing disturbance is a misdemeanor. It is a simple offence, even it touches on integrity under Chapter Six of the Constitution. Those police officers could have arrested hon. Alfred Keter and taken him to court. Maybe my friend does not understand the legal implications of such offences and fines applicable. Those are not issues to be captured as corruption. Chapter Six of the Constitution does not indicate clearly the issues to be dealt with. That is why even if I support the Constitution, I think that the activists who included some of these captions did not indicate ways of taming issues like these. How many Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) have we seen flouting this provision and they have gone scot-free? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this country requires a healing process, but the dragon of corruption must be dealt with effectively, efficiently and conclusively. There are 60 days that have been given by the President for these cases to be determined. Which courts are going to sit and conclude these matters in 60 days? The Anti-Corruption Court is under-equipped. The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has indicated that he requires over 70 lawyers. Where is the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), which is embroiled in infightings, going to sit? This was a sham. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to note."
