    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. At the outset Infotrak is a total mess because if you are to rank Members of Parliament, why would you rank specific Members of Parliament leaving out the nominated Members of Parliament who do not have a kitty.

We are supposed to be ranked based on our contribution in this House, the way it was done by Mzalendo. I was ranked number two only after Hon. Millie Odhiambo by Mzalendo.

I represent more people than any other Member of Parliament, not to be ranked upon or to be told I am number one or last, it is an abuse to me and the 6.5 million persons living with disability. By the way, a curse is upon them. That is what persons with disability have told us…."
