    "content": "(Prof. Saitoti): Mr. Speaker, Sir, before mentioning those names, I did say that it was with very great reluctance. I was forced to mention those names. It was a demand by hon. Members of Parliament. I explained the circumstances under which Mr. Mbuvi had been wanted by the police to record a statement. Of course, reasons had to be given why. I did say that the Anti-Narcotics Squad is in place and is investigating this matter. Mr. Mbuvi was one of the people mentioned in connection with this matter. The hon. Members demanded that they should also know who the other Members of Parliament were and I did that. I heard that they may also have been contacted to make statements before the squad. I stated this one because there has been a persistent demand by hon. Members that they want to know who actually must have been mentioned wherever it was, and we have given you the truth which you wanted. I was reluctant to do so. It is a very grave matter. At the same time, Mr. Kabogo has also mentioned the names of other people which, of course, was not within the list that I had. So, let us put it this way. As to Mr. Joho’s demand that his name be removed from the list, I am sure that in the process of the investigations, his name will be removed if he is, indeed, innocent. Although these names have been mentioned, I think we must take the view that each one of them is innocent until proven guilty. That is the position."
