"content": "Secretary General of Kenya's largest Opposition political party called the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). The reason I bring that up, is, in fact, there was an invitation from the African Governance Center (AGC) for my party to send representatives to Accra for a conference under the theme “ From Politics to Prosperity” from the 12th to 14th August. Unfortunately, as political parties in this country, we are struggling with financing from the public coffers. I had to write back and say ODM Party might not be able to participate. So, I take this opportunity to welcome you to Nairobi, Kenya, and to join the Majority Leader in insisting that certain traditions must be followed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when delegations come to visit Nairobi, I think it is also incumbent upon us to make sure they visit the offices of the leadership of the city, starting with the Senator, and then I can lead them across the road to the office of the Governor of Nairobi City County. In that same breath, I can also confirm that Gov. Wamatangi has not appeared before the office of the leadership of the Minority. I do not know why because, as the Senate Majority Leader has confirmed, certain traditions have to be followed. As a former Member of this House, the Governor of Kiambu, whereas we welcome you to this House, I have also to raise those concerns that were raised by the Majority Leader, that you might be out of order, but it is not my place to declare it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, please, uphold the traditions of this House, and the respect for the offices that we hold in this House, because we lead and represent people. My delegation here is asking me questions that I cannot answer. Sen. Kibwana has asked me why the Governor is here? I am also not aware. I have not been briefed. So, I hope that as you enjoy the hospitality of the Senate, you will find it proper to rectify those mistakes, so that we can have a proper engagement between us and your county. Lastly, I was also very upset yesterday because, as Senators, we were invited to a meeting with the Council of Governors (CoGs). It was cancelled at the last minute, yet they made it look like there were serious issues that we wanted to discuss and we were available for that. So, on top of the mistakes that have been made by the County Government of Kiambu today, we will also add the concerns of the Senate about what happened with the meeting yesterday. I thank you, hon. Speaker. Sorry I talked for too long."
