    "content": "to the arrest of the suspect. Let us not weaponize the Office of the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to fight political wars; let it do its job. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, some of the things that they parade in newspapers are laughable. Sen. Orengo, Sen. Wetangula and I, being lawyers, can read and see through them. However, the citizens of this Republic are duped that so and so has been arrested. Therefore, the newspaper sells. In fact, courts are also intimidated to receive evidence as it is and convict people so that it looks like people are working. If we want to meticulously fight corruption in this nation, we must go from the evidence which should lead us to the criminals. Let us make less noise and work more behind the scenes to get the evidence. Let the DCI go the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) with proper evidence, so that he can go to court with watertight cases. Let this country move forward. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if there is something I agree with and defend is, let us not fight corruption for the sake of statistics and being seen to do so. Let us do it because we want and mean well for this great Republic."
