    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First and foremost, I want to thank the Majority Whip, hon. Katoo, for giving me the opportunity to contribute. I want to say from the outset that the President rose to the occasion when Kenyans expected him to do this. In his Speech, the issue of fighting corruption and as we know it, many of the corruption cases are not attributed to the Jubilee Government. Majority of these except those that are happening in the counties happened in the previous governments. Therefore, this President is going into record as having fought corruption and as having been in front to put this country in the right track. My only appeal is to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs especially in relation the Petition that is before this Parliament on the issue of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) commissioners. It needs to be expedited and resolved. If this Government has to fight corruption, we need people who are of good integrity within the EACC. The EACC is the organ that will put this country on the right track but if they are not able to perform their duties, then we will be using a wrong organ. Therefore, we need to move with speed so that corruption can be fought and this country be put on the right track. Thank you."
