"content": "objective. Some of you who were strategizing might know, but it was for me not to come to the House. Even the person who votes after me in my delegation was told not to come, so that the vote would go one way or the other. Let me not speculate on that. Now that I have come and I have voted, those who want to arrest me, please go ahead. Madam Deputy Speaker, you know the vitriol and you have seen those banners being put out there for me to change my position. I am not one to be intimidated. I am the son of Emily Ayoti Kubasu, a champion. I will not be intimidated. I stand for one Kenya. Finally, I have heard people saying that they will expel me from the party or will do this and that. I am persuading Sen. Poghisio, the Senate Majority Leader, who I respect a lot, and the Majority Whip, Sen Kang’ata because they are leaders in this House to know that a party position is not an individual’s opinion. A party position is not even your opinion. A party position is when you call your members, you caucus, discuss an issue, and agree to disagree, but that agreement reached, is binding. I have been a chairman of a party and I know what a party position is. You can do ten more hashtags, it is okay. In fact, yesterday I helped to tweet them. Since we are not voting, it is okay. I was born in this town in Ngara. I am used to this life. I can stay in cells, but I will stand for one Kenya."
