    "content": " Thank you, very much, Hon. Speaker. First, I want to thank the people of Kiharu for giving me another chance to serve them in the august House. Also, I singularly thank them because they advised me not to have any campaign materials because they would elect me without them which they did. I want to applaud the people of Kenya for voting and conducting our elections in a very peaceful manner. That is why we are all here celebrating our democracy. Going to the issue, I remember very well when we were recalled from recess to discuss amendments to the Political Parties Act, we looked subdued then. This is because we were facing people in this House who were chest- thumping, telling us they are the system and their way was the highway. Hon. Speaker, we advised them it was important for this House to continue making laws for posterity and for the good of all. Unfortunately, the bad law they passed has put us in the situation were are in today. The question before this House is which team is the majority? This is very clear because we have Kenya Kwanza where I belong. This is an organised coalition of political parties with agreements of the constituent parties. When we went for elections, the parties that make this coalition of Kenya Kwanza emerged victorious in so far as majority is concerned. This has been said before but it is good for me to put it on record. That, the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party, where I belong, has 145 Members in this House. The Forum for the Restoration of Democracy - Kenya (FORD - K), the ‘ simba party’ has six Members."
