    "content": "Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to oppose this Motion. Kenya is an emerging democracy and if we have to nurture democracy in this country, then our leaders must demonstrate that they are really interested in seeing democracy in this country grow. There should be serious consultations in the appointment of members to the House Business Committee (HBC); it must be seen that consultations are really done. I am the elected party whip of KANU and this was done in a delegates congress in Kasarani, and being a whip there is no time that KANU has sat to discuss and agree on the Members who are supposed to represent the party in the HBC. So, it is very surprising for me to find names here, when the KANU parliamentary group has never sat or discussed this matter. To bring back sanity, and for us to appear to do exactly what we are supposed to do, we have to oppose this Motion to have them go back and consult parliamentary parties. What we are seeing here is political party dictatorship; parties have all through been perceived to be individual outfits and we must say no to this. I stand to oppose."
