    "content": "Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker for this opportunity. Mine is to say that as the Chairman of Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, we have worked very hard during this Session and when we come back, there are so many issues that need to be dealt with. There is the issue of the multi-agency committee on the fight against on corruption. In the next Session, we will look at more proactive measures in terms of legislative and policy framework, to ensure that we bring our issues together. My warning to the investigative agencies and agencies that are tasked with the fight against corruption is that, they should be careful so that they do not do persecution instead of prosecution. We have seen that there is ethnic profiling of some few individuals with the aim of deterring them from the 2022 succession politics. I want to tell them that I have seen they are targeting people from where I come from. However, we will not sit and allow them to do it in bad faith. The fight against corruption should be done in good faith, within the law and should not be persecution but prosecution. I want to tell the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), Director or Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC) that they must be careful. They can be used but at the end of the day they will be kicked out of those offices when they have done more harm, the way it happened to the Judiciary in 2003 during the radical surgery."
