"content": "I want to say without fear of contradiction that the person who has been charged with investigating corruption, Dr. PLO Lumumba, must investigate because at no time did we pass any Budget for somebody to go gallivanting around the Globe doing a wrong job which we can sort ourselves out here. He must! That is a case of corruption! They are using public funds inappropriately. The Presidential Jet is a presidential jet bought by taxpayersâ money. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to be corrected and I want to tell my hon. colleague that we cannot be talking about Libya because those were people murdering themselves. Somebody has to pump in sanity; whether you kill Gaddafi, it may not help you. But if Gaddafi kills his own people like what he was doing, who does it help? Let us be honest! Honesty is a very good thing. Mr. Musyoka cannot say that he is defending Libya. No! Wrong is wrong and right is right and we cannot pretend. If we want to save the Ocampo Six and save the rest of Kenyans who are still living--- Hon. Members are talking here and have never even driven on this road where those IDPs live. Nobody has! Even as they go to Eldoret to say they are talking peace, our mothers and their children are still living in camps, especially now when it is raining. We owe it to those people! There is no reason for being shy. I would rather not be a Member of Parliament if I have to be a hypocrite. I would rather not be. That is not why we are here. We are paid by those taxpayersâ money. Those people have been in the cold for three years and their kids have not seen the inside of any classroom. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
