    "content": "Finally, the same EACC published in the Kenya Gazette that I have been cleared of all the allegations against me and I came back to office. However, that was not the end of the story. Today, as I am talking here, I still carry with me the cross of Anglo Leasing, merely because I was mentioned ten years ago. You saw my photograph last month among the people who will be charged because of Anglo Leasing scandal. People in Meru have been waiting for me to be arrested because the nation still says that I have accounts in Switzerland. I was even on television as being among the people to be investigated for having accounts in Switzerland. I instructed the advocate, Mr. Kioko Kilukumi, to take TheNation Television (NTV) to court for airing a show indicating that Kiraitu Murungi was being investigated. That case is still pending. Even as the case is pending, Daily Nation newspaper still went ahead and again, featured a photograph of me as being among the people to be charged for Anglo Leasing. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very painful knowing that you never did anything, but because of a political witch hunt or because of people who do not like you in the media, they can continue this story over and over again. I know what Sen. Orengo is feeling. If it is family land which he is supposed to have grabbed; what a ridiculous thing to say. When the elections come in 2017, some people will be saying that Sen. Orengo was mentioned in the report as a land grabber and that kind of thing. It never dies; you pay and you are punished for life merely because of a nebulous doctrine called “stepping aside.” I would rather be sent to Kamiti Prison or be hanged rather than being condemned forever for something called “stepping aside.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are not afraid of the law. The law should be followed by all and sundry; whether you are a Member of Parliament (MP), a Cabinet Secretary or a Governor. If you have committed a crime, you should be punished in accordance with the law."
