    "content": "chiefs’ offices get them. Our system of Government goes to the grassroots. If an assistant chief had an ID card lying in his office, I am sure if they pronounced themselves on those issues in a baraza people would go for them. Some chiefs and assistant chiefs will put conditions that one can only get their ID if they do this and that. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I request time and space to say something I saw in the Daily Nation newspaper today saying that my party the Orange Democratic (ODM) has already assured me of a ticket to contest the seat of governor. No, no. That cannot be true. I cannot be part of such an arrangement. I want the people of Siaya County to know that like every Kenyan they are the ones who will elect leaders for whatever position within the party. I have always participated in elections with the high and mighty. The first person I defeated in an election was a Cabinet Minister. I enjoyed doing it because the people were given that right. I ask the Daily Nation and the Standard Media who carried those stories that sometimes it is better to determine the sources of those stories. They are now interfering with voter registration in Siaya. The people are wondering why they should register as voters if Sen. Orengo is already nominated to be the next governor. They are saying they would rather not take a voters’ card or register as voters. From this forum I tell the people of Siaya that Sen. Orengo does not have any nomination certificate to be governor and I have not declared. I know the ODM party will not allow anybody to go behind in a smokescreen somewhere to get a certificate of nomination. I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I needed to clarify that."
