    "content": "It is appalling that the allegations were made by Members and the same Members could not substantiate the allegations in front of the Committee. It is shameful. There are some people who feel that by talking about their colleagues, they will become popular out there. Please, when you are in a funeral, rally or constituency meetings, keep our names off your radar. Talk about your constituency. I watched a Member saying he was ready to give each of the 349 Members Kshs10,000 if they queue in front of his house. Who told you we want your Kshs10,000? That Member should give us space. If you have money, that is your money. Some of us may not have the money. When you say you are ready to give each Member Kshs10,000 and you want them to queue, what message are you sending? This is the first Report of the Committee on Powers and Privileges. In the next report, anybody who makes allegations and cannot substantiate them before the Committee must be indicted. The Speaker should write to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) for the Member to be investigated. Colleagues, this morning we need to look at this Report with sobriety. 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."
