    "content": "Yes, Hon. Speaker. First, I want to thank the Chair of PAC for raising serious matters concerning Standing Order No.86. This is because matters before the Committee were being discussed publicly at rallies, funerals and, lately, at television talk shows. On Wednesday, this week, a Member of PAC, Hon. John Mbadi, discussed the PAC for more than 35 minutes. He alleged that the Committee has been compromised, and that the Report of that Committee will be of no value. That is a very serious statement. The matter is also published in today’s newspapers. He went further to mention the Presidency and the Jubilee leadership. The host of the talk show, Trevor Ombija, challenged Hon. Mbadi more than 10 times to name the so-called “people in the Jubilee leadership in Parliament and the Presidency” who were exerting pressure on the PAC and its Chair. He went further to say that he had information to spill. If you allow us, Hon. Speaker, we will bring a substantive Motion to discuss Hon. John Mbadi. On that matter, I want to inform the House that Hon. Mbadi is not what he is telling the country. If you allow me, I have a document I want to table from the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC) where Hon. Mbadi used resources from Homa Bay County funds. The funds were meant for the citizens of Homa Bay to drill a number of boreholes. He decided those boreholes be drilled in his compound and that of a Member of County Assembly (MCA). I have it. I am ready to table it. It is from the EACC and a serious law firm."
