    "content": "the former Chief Justice, Willy Mutunga, has been sitting around doing very little. Some of the luminaries who have done great work in this country ought to be nominated. I do not even see why we could not have Eliud Kipchoge nominated as an MP because of the strength that he brings to this country. He might bring to this Parliament what he values. I think that is the whole basis for this nomination. The whole spirit of nomination has been broken. The whole framework is broken. In Rwanda, Uganda and other countries, nomination is on the basis of the strength of a person. When the person is nominated by the party, they come here on the basis of strength and not the party. If we have, say, an aeronautical or space engineer and this country wants to go to space, we will bring that best brain in space engineering to participate as a nominated MP. He will raise the strength and value of Parliament and the political party he is a member of. I am an Independent MP and a strong supporter of Raila Amollo Odinga. I will not let ODM down because it is the party of my birth. I am Independent because of party nomination problems which must be sorted out. We do not want to go backwards yet the Constitution has put together a framework."
