Speaking as a first timer, the first time I came to your office, one of the things you told me is that fidelity to your political party is a very critical thing. You told me of your history in the Kenya African National Union (KANU) including the days when the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) was sweeping across the country. I remember you telling me when Hon. Raila came with his entourage with loud music, you ran and hid in the farm behind your house because it was such a big thing. You also told me that political positions are temporary; that at some point you will lose them, but never be too worried if you have been a good person and done your actual work. That even when you lose, a bigger door may open. We saw that when you lost, but eventually became the Speaker of this House."}
