"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is just that the distinguished Senator for Nandi County came in at the tail end of my contribution. He would have seen that I did not raise anything substantive about the MP for Kiharu Constituency. I know the rules. Having said that, I do not know why it is occurring to the distinguished Senator that he is the barometer to measure how somebody should serve when he is in the office of the Government Whip. The positions that people have in this country are earned. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you are here as a Senator because you won in Bomet. Sen. Cherarkey, you are here as a Senator because you won in Nandi and I am here for the same reason. The fact that I became the Chief Whip, my brother, is because of the contribution I made to form the Government. You did not invite me to the Government. Therefore, if you think my contribution does not meet the position I hold today, then please, go and justify that you contributed more than me. I do not think that there is a single vote you added William Ruto because he was going to get all the votes in Nandi, anyway."
