    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We have a new Kenya and I want to agree with the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs that we have received accolades, even from TheEconomist . This is because our Constitution provides very new standards of accountability. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of corruption must be tackled by the country head on. However, I want to note that I totally agree with the Prime Minister that even as we are tackling the issue of corruption, we must do so following the rule of law. We have parliamentary privilege and we cannot abuse that privilege because it would be counter-productive; because then the issue of corruption would cease to be an issue of corruption but a case of witch hunting. Therefore, I am happy when we slay the dragon when it is a dragon. But when we slay a cat that looks like a cat, I shall not be party to that. Because of that, I have said before and I want to repeat that we must have a threshold of accountability by these Ministers that we are holding accountable. Some of the issues we must look at are what is the proximity to the transaction? Number two, what is your knowledge of the transaction? Number three, did you exercise due diligence on the matter?"
