    "content": "Hon. Adagala, kindly allow me to speak. I am better placed to understand what I am talking about. Taking my cue from the Deputy Whip of the Minority Party, I appreciate that you have read a communication from the Speaker, which cannot be challenged. Only last week, I stood here and acknowledged the new KYPA leadership. At that time, I did not have the benefit of understanding what had transpired. Later on, I learned that there was some controversy surrounding the election. Even though I am not young and, therefore, I do not fall into the category of young Members of Parliament, going forward and following what we did today when we elected the Executive Council of the CPA, we need to encourage a spirit of consultation. We should inculcate a culture of engagement so that such issues do not arise. It does not matter who becomes the Chairman or the Secretary-General of KYPA. What matters is the process, which can create unity or disunity. I plead with you that, in the spirit of national dialogue, advise the Speaker to re-look at the issue to guide how these young Members can move together. I will be happy to have Hon. Gitonga lead a united KYPA. That will be the best thing to happen in this House. I do not doubt Hon. Gitonga’s ability and integrity to lead a united KYPA. We shall support you as leadership and older Members. Thank you very much."
