27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly:
2454 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 27, 2006 Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to oppose the proposed amendment as the Chairman of the PIC for various reasons. One, the argument in support, particularly by the Mover, hon. Ojode, is misplaced.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is Standing Order No.148(5)(c). It is very clear that the PIC, unlike the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), does not have to wait for the reports of the Controller and Auditor-General, which is reflected in Part 1 of the Report.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hear claims of: "Let me deal with him." Nobody can deal with me! I am very firm. I hold very strong views about certain things!

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister says that I have been convicted. Could he substantiate now and here that I have ever been convicted of corruption? This is a very dangerous and careless allegation by Mr. Kirwa! He has just said so! He must substantiate! He is making it personal!

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want proof that I was ever convicted! I am an hon. Member of Parliament. I want evidence! He cannot say that I have ever been convicted of any crime, let alone corruption! Could he prove his allegations with evidence?
