    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me proceed. I do not want interruption. It is on record, I am privileged and I can talk mountains in this House because I have been elected by the people of Machakos to represent them fully. We know instances where even doctors leave needles in patients’ bodies while others are accused of stealing human organs so that someone can get money. It is a shame. This country is corrupt. I do not even know whether the blood of Jesus is enough to cleanse the sins of this country. Today, His Excellency the President said that a thief is a thief. Whether one is Kikuyu, Kamba, Luo or Luhya, they are known by their tag name - a thief. People should therefore, not hide behind their tribal cocoons. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we will make amendments. I submit that the Senate Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights and related committees should be very serious. As Senators, we will assist them in our different professions to sit and craft the laws, especially the economic anti-corruption laws. Lastly, I want to go on record that I have heard members of public say that Parliament is also corrupt. We talk about auditors, reports are brought here and we interrogate them. However, the question is who polices the National Assembly?"
