I know we have disagreed on this issue with the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security from Mombasa to here. However, I want to plead with him. There is this issue of mileage claims; we need somebody to check the system to protect Parliament from frivolous accusations. Now the EACC is the only way for us to clear our names because some of these things are utter lies. There is need to have somebody to answer for Parliament and who can say: “This is the system and this is how it works.” That person is this administrator. We are too many. If you are saying you do not need this office, you must also tell Kenyans that the EACC must have total access to everything and everywhere we do our things. For me, I accept both scenarios. I can tell you the scenario you are about to reject is the scenario that works best for an institution which is as supreme as Parliament. I beg you and I submit."
