    "content": "the nation. We need nationalists and statesmen to serve in EALA. I also want to join him to encourage, especially the Orange Democratic Movement and Wiper-K to consider nominating Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka. I know the son was there, but consider nominating Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka to EALA. The former Prime Minister, the Right. Hon. Raila Odinga, should also be considered for EALA. Such nomination will not only be an honour to a leader who has been a Prime Minister in Kenya, but also dissuade him from what I have seen him trying to do in the recent past, namely, attending the Bunge La Mwananchi forum at Jevanjee Gardens. It is more honourable for Raila Odinga to be attending the East African Legislative Assembly other than Bunge LaMwananchi. I am not saying this in any way to belittle Bunge La Mwananchi. It is a good place to engage with Kenyans, but Raila Odinga is the last person to pretend to be engaging with Kenyans and giving Kshs20,000 to boda boda riders. It is an insult because it is him and His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta who led those boda boda riders to the state of the economy where Kenya is in today. I want to encourage our brothers and sisters in ODM and their leadership to please consider nominating Hon. Raila Odinga and Hon. Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka. Beyond EALA, it is probably time, as a House, we started thinking of how to engage our national leaders who lose in national elections. It is time we started thinking how to engage the caliber of leaders like Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka, His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta and Hon. Raila Odinga in our national conversations and think of how we would even create the position of Leader of Opposition that would give them a forum other than seeing the stature of Hon. Raila Odinga with Hon. Babu Owino and T.J Kajwang in Jevanjee Gardens and the next day in Kariobangi. I hear tomorrow or the following day they will be in Kibra inciting Kenyans."
