    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I am well guided. I made reference to two issues. One, we are Honourable Members and we are colleagues. Being colleagues, we have a moral duty to protect the good name of our colleagues. Secondly, yes, it is true we will debate the Report that is before the House, but behind the minds of all Kenyans who are listening to us, there is a genesis to that matter. And the matter is dealing with an honourable lady. We are dealing with a mother. We are dealing with a respectable lady in the society. That is why I want to urge my colleagues that today, it is Fatuma Gedi, tomorrow, it will be you and I. As much as there could be credible evidence to suggest that an illegality was committed, as Africans and as members of this community called Kenya, there is a better way of dealing with our internal issues. As much as we debate, as much as we want to unmask ourselves, and as much as we want to take the time to settle political scores, it is not in order. It is un-African for us to stand and debate the conduct of whoever in this manner. For that reason, I stand to oppose the Report and request my colleagues that whatever has been done is enough punishment for any mistake the Honourable Member had made. I seek that all Members oppose this Report, put this matter to rest and leave it where it is. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
