"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, I was hoping that you will give me a chance to support this Motion. This is a step again in the right direction so that we can start sending signals to the rest of the world that this country is serious about transparent activities, starting from appointments all the way to the handling of corruption cases. I would like to join my colleagues who have so openly supported the work that the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) under Dr. Lumumba is beginning to emerge for the country. I want to assure the country that I am beginning to see reports of people thinking that Parliament is moving too fast. As far as I am concerned, Parliament is not moving fast enough. We ought to be able to smoke out more people as quickly as possible so that the image that the country is beginning to receive accolades from a magazine; if you forgive me for citing a newspaper â The Economist â and other world newspapers, saying that there is still hope in this country. This is the sort of thing that a lot of people in this country have been praying for, for a long time. I want to wish parliamentary Committees Godspeed so that they can also recognize the need to ensure that they respect the Constitution, which requires that they operate like a High Court; give everybody the right of a fair hearing, investigate â when they do so â in a manner that earns transparency. I want the next accolades to come from"
