    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, does the Chairperson appreciate the provisions of Article 35 of the Constitution which states in part that “every citizen has the right of access to information held by the State without any exception?” What Mr. Ngirachu published was that there was impropriety and possible corruption in some procurement process at the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. The Chairperson is trying to paint a very civil picture; that the police called him on phone - they never do that – and invited him to a coffee shop and he voluntarily walked with them to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations Headquarters. Obviously, he was under arrest. There is nothing like “the police magnanimously called Mr. Ngirachu, sat with him, had coffee and walked with him voluntarily.” They arrested him on the basis of information contained in a publication, where he was informing the public of a corrupt practice that has become the hallmark and trademark of the Jubilee Government. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
