    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to draw your attention that in the ruling you will make on this matter, please note that this House, up to very recently, had stood that test of time and its integrity is not in question. I was at one time in the media and because of what is happening in the other House, they asked me: “How can you say that you are also clean?” I went further and quoted names of Members of this House. I said, “People like Mzee Haji, what will you give him to compromise him? People like Amos Wako who has been the Attorney-General for many years, what will you do to compromise him?” I said that this is a House of integrity. Therefore, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beseech you that in whatever decision or ruling you will make, make one which will save the integrity of this House. Very serious matters have been mentioned which some of us do not want to be associated with. This discussion in this House is very unfortunate. We are discussing bribery, whether a Committee report will be discussed, who will move it and so on. I beg you, please make a decision that will sustain the integrity of this House."
