    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I second. The Members have not been accused of corruption; rather they have been accused of breach of privilege. We have to make it very clear that those Members who had been mentioned and the print media went ahead to tarnish their names in their constituencies--- We are many Members here. We are not corrupt and there was no proof. So, the accusations were never proved. I wanted to make that very clear so that Kenyans know that even those Members who were removed from PAC are not being removed because of corruption. It is good for the country to know that. It is very easy to tarnish a legislator’s name. It is also very difficult to defend yourself when it has been printed all over the media that you are being removed because of corruption. The Powers and Privileges Committee did a god job. We went by their instructions. We only replaced five Members but the rest of the Members were left. We did not want to disturb and disrupt a Committee that has been doing a good job. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
