    "content": "constitutional right to join any political formation he wants. In the last elections you were sponsored by the Jubilee Party. The records that are now available politically at the Registrar of Political Parties, show that you are the party leader of the Democratic Party. That is not the Jubilee Party that sponsored you. You have formed a coalition with Kenya Kwanza, which is another formation outside Jubilee Party. Hon. Speaker, we have never doubted your impartiality. Let that be on record. We have never, so far. When we saw you in a ceremony in a hotel in Karen, signing as the leader of the Democratic Party to a coalition, we started feeling that we may not get a fair treatment in the House, and impartiality may not be there. You are a man with so much fidelity to the Constitution. I can say that without fear, because I have served with you and under you in this House for 10 years. Issues that are raised in this House are issues that cannot be raised anywhere else. We cannot speak about them in burials and rallies. The issues that have been raised by Hon. Otiende Amollo, which you have captured well, are issues that are going to affect us for the remaining period of this House. Hon. Speaker, if you are the leader of the Democratic Party and a Member of the Kenya Kwanza Coalition, and you were sponsored by Jubilee Party as the Speaker, how are you going to balance those interests? This is because the people who are supporting and cheering you here are not even from the Jubilee Party; these are UDA and Kenya Kwanza Members."
