    "content": "Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. From the outset, I reject this list. First, we have been elected to represent the people of Kenya in this House. Second, we have a democratic right to belong wherever we want to belong. Third, this House is guided by the rule of law and procedures. There was no formal communication on the Floor of the House to effect changes to the list that was submitted one week ago on the Senate Business Committee (SBC). Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not your position to discuss matters of political parties here. However, as the Head of this institution, you have a right to give guidance as far as political parties are concerned and guided by the rule of law. I know that when we made our way to State House, it was not by mistake. We knew what we were doing. We know the consequences, but the law must be followed to the letter. This is my fourth month having been elected to the Opposition side and my third term to serve in this House. I have even served in SBC before. The list that has been presented to this House was doctored this afternoon without proper consultation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a person and a leader, I am tired of the forced marriage, intimidation and abuse by a certain quarter of this side. I do not fear anybody. However, what we really want is the law to be followed to the letter. We were in Azimio. We have actually been debated on the Floor of this House that Jubilee contributed nothing to"
