    "content": " Hon. Speaker, Hon. Aden Duale has kept on repeating that now that Jubilee is in Government, that they should pay a debt of Kshs6 million that was owed to Hon. Kalembe Ndile, which is basically a political negotiation by political parties. Is he in order to imply that Kenyan taxpayers’ money should be used to settle debts that are owed by political parties or friends of political parties to others? When you keep on referring that now that you are in Government, what you are trying to imply is that we should go and raid public coffers to pay money which is like a bribe the way it is coming out. I do not understand how one would demand for money when parties are merging. We have merged parties many times. We have experience on our side much more than Hon. Aden Duale. I know he was in the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) but ODM has more experience in mergers, disengaging and again re-engaging. It is something that we have a lot of experience on. So, I just wanted to correct Hon. Aden Duale that it is not proper and right to be on record that now that a party is in Government, it should use public resources to pay a bribe for political negotiations."
