    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, because of time I will just say two things. One, it may be so easy to look at the alleged crime and even think that those people do not deserve to be released on bond. Wait until the same starts getting abused by the State. The right to bond or bail is guaranteed under Article 49 of the Constitution. You can only deny someone that right if there is a compelling reason for not releasing them. I am not defending Arama or whoever because they are our colleagues but this should go to any Kenyan including Lillian Omollo who is charged for NYS fraud. They should be given bail. If there is a reason for not giving them bail, it should be very clear. So, we should not allow any institution to use bail as if it is a right that can be dished as and when they so wish. Finally, we congratulated the DPP when he started cracking the whip on corruption cases in this country. I just want to caution him that they should stick to that lane so that we take them seriously. If they get into many petty issues which may turn out to be political, then they will lose it. At the moment, they are enjoying the confidence of Kenyans. We love what they are The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
