    "content": " Order, Senators! I was equally perturbed to read that piece in the newspaper. As I was contemplating on what to do next, the Speaker of the National Assembly called me and said that there was no such communication with the media. That is what he told me. He was obviously agitated. Even if you look at that piece, they never attributed it to a particular reporter. So, in a way, I was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt in the sense that the report was under a Nation newspaper reporter and you all know under what kind of circumstances such reportage takes place. The reporter could be avoiding victimization. He could also be avoiding to be taken to task over the veracity of the assertions. I have requested him to set the record straight and so, let us give the matter time. If the record is not straight, you know what to do. Let us leave it at that stage for now. I think it must be very clear to everybody; to Senators, Members of the National Assembly, governors, Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) and to the general public that the Senate does not need to account to another House of Parliament. We represent the people of the Republic of Kenya and that is where our accountability is. So, all those others are opinions which are still subject to the same public. Let me not go beyond there. Thank you."
