    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this Statement. However, before that, I welcome researchers on parliamentary matters. Sen. Sakaja has mentioned Dr. Leah Komen and being his senior, I recognize that name. Madam Temporary Speaker, I acknowledge that the war against corruption cannot be won if we are divided. We must agree on one thing. Political will has been missing but when it has been found, things are moving faster. I acknowledge that politics plays a big role in ending corruption just as much as in starting it. Therefore, now that we have decided to end corruption, we must have a political will and be together politically. Therefore, I dissuade those who think that bashing political participation will help. It does not help. It is the politicians who vote for all the money that they need to fight corruption. We are gathered here to talk about it. We must protect the weak. I heard one of the Members mention a name of a person. However, we cannot mention names of people who cannot defend themselves. This House should maintain the dignity it has. For that reason, it is in bad faith. Finally, Madam Temporary Speaker, I acknowledge that something has to give. If we have to fight corruption, we have to decide once whether we will go to this war together or we simply fight separately. However, if we fight separately, we lose. Something will have to give and fall through the cracks. The President and the right hon. Former Prime Minister agreed that the Handshake will help us to move forward. Therefore, the rest of the leaders should come together alongside the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) and move together in one direction. Madam Temporary Speaker, these two young people who have spoken today, that is Sen. Malalah and Sen. Cheruiyot do not have any differences in what they are saying. The future belongs to the young people. Therefore, both of them should be at the fore front fighting corruption. They are the people who should be shouting in one voice against corruption and not against each other. What is wrong in fighting corruption and not fight each other? That is why the Director of Criminal Investigation (DCI) is fighting crime and not Sen. Poghisio. If there is crime in Sen. Poghisio, he will fight both Sen. Poghisio and the crime. Sometimes----"
