    "content": "I want to cite two cases. When we tabled the National Youth Service (NYS) Report, Mutahi Ngunyi, who is cited in the Report, whose company has been paid Kshs200 million for nothing other than an act of plagiarism, went ahead to say that he had been cited because he refused to pay rent to members of the Committee. More recently, in a TV show, Ms. Anne Waiguru, who was a key witness, said that she was mentioned because some members of the Committee had approached her for money and she refused to pay. I was not watching TV at the time but I sent a text to Ms. Waiguru and said: ―What you are talking about is a matter of national interest and as a responsible citizen you should have named these people even in a letter to the Speaker.‖ I would want to believe that if, indeed, these things are happening and people feel aggrieved because most of these things happen after reports have been tabled, I would believe that these people should, at least, approach you and write to you in confidence and name those members. This is because we are 27 members and people are coming from different backgrounds. Before I came here I was and I am still an engineer of repute in this country. I do not think it is fair for us to look like we are all being lumped together."
