    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we cannot afford to politicize corruption. We cannot afford to witch-hunt or unnecessarily spoil people’s names. We have to be very serious in this exercise. I am requesting to be listened to because it is Desiderata which says that even the dull and the ignorant have their own story to tell. Let me be allowed to say mine. I know people are cheering out there, the wananchi, and the media that people are stepping aside. However, under what provision of the Constitution or statute or doctrine of common law are people stepping aside? Why are we being requested to step aside? Stepping aside is not a legal principle, but a dangerous political principle. You are called upon to step aside merely because your name has been mentioned. I can mention very many people. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale said there are thieves who he has not mentioned; he can mention them and those people will be called upon to step aside. Will they step aside because Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has mentioned them? Sometimes, you are being mentioned without evidence. For example, if I do not like the face of the Senate Minority Leader, I can mention him. Because I have mentioned him, then he should step aside."
