    "content": "Some people may have thought that it was being done in jest, but it was an important statement towards the question of dealing with corruption. However, the problem is that this has happened before. Even in 1906, when the Prevention of Corruption Act was enacted as an ordinance in Kenya, it was for the purpose of dealing with corruption then and the people were talking the same language. Indeed, I can tell without fear of contradiction, that a lot of people do not believe what we are saying. This is what we are going to deal with. It is not that nothing is going to happen out of this initiative. However, the public is very skeptical. In fact, when I saw Sen. Mwaura and Sen. Kabaka talk with passion and commitment, to a lot of people, it was as if they were speaking in tongues. It was as if they were in a church, where some people are speaking and at the end of the day, whether it is in English or in Kiswahili, they sweat and cry. Sen. Kabaka nearly cried, although he did not quite cry."
