    "content": "of bringing an impeachment Motion against the Judges who ruled in favour of registering the LGBTQIA+ association in Kenya. This is unheard of. If it is being forced on Kenya because we are poor and some people feel like they need to fund us, let those people know that the only thing that we need in life is air to breathe and food. We can provide the two commodities for ourselves. We do not need any aid from abroad. They can go with their aid, their culture, their lesbianism and their gay practice to wherever it came from. We do not need them and we shall take stern action on that issue. On the issue of the NG-CDF, we have stated our views very clearly. Before we went on recess, there was a joint committee that was put in place between the National Assembly and the Senate. The Chepkonga-led Committee should tell us what they are doing. We believe that amendment should have been passed like yesterday. I urge this House not to join all the amendments together. Some of the amendments are a bit emotive but for the one on the NG- CDF, which we are all in agreement with, ought to have been passed by this House. We do not need to combine it with the amendments on representation and on creation of Office of the Leader of Official Opposition. Hon. Temporary Speaker, give me one minute to wind up on the issue of creating Office of the Leader of Official Opposition. On this issue, we need to bring sanity to that office. Currently, the opposition leaders are running around the country trying to arm-twist the Government through demonstrations, disrupting businesses and unity in our country. The only way to solve this issue is to give them room to air their views. The best way to do so is to create the Office of the Leader of the Official Opposition. I do not know whether that office will be domiciled in this House. I was reading the Constitution and it appears like such an initiative might require a referendum. I believe such an office should not be under this House but we should come up with and office where he can officially complain by writing to the relevant executive offices. Thank you."
