    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I look forward to guidance from your Procedure and Rules Committee on how we ought to handle such reports. In the meantime, I suggest that we allocate specific time in allotted afternoons to debate reports from commissions. The war on graft has seen distinguished individuals at the helm working for the respective bodies. Allow me to mention them quickly. There was Hon. Harun Mwau, Retired Judge Justice Ringera, Mr. P.L. O Lumumba, Mr. Mumo Matemu and his two deputies, Mrs. Keino, and others over the time. When this House was debating the nomination of Mr. P. L.O Lumumba in the 10th Parliament, he was praised by all the Members. We were only three of us who opposed the nomination of Mr. P.L.O Lumumba. The HANSARD will bear me witness. I said that the war against corruption cannot be based on how eloquent you are and how you can choose good words. Barely three years later in the same 11th Parliament, I was vindicated when Hon. James Orengo and many others who were in praise of P.L.O Lumumba turned against him. I am sure the Members will have a scorecard for Mr. Halakhe Waqo, who was approved in this House around midnight when most of us were very tired. I am sure the Members will praise Mr. Mbarak Twalib, but be very careful because the HANSARD is a living record. Barely two or three months later, you might have a different version on the Floor of the House."
