People were extremely upset to see me in the same room with the governor. It is as if people expect that every time I see my governor, I should go on his neck or punch him in the face. When we do oversight, that is not the expectation. At a time of disaster response, it is very possible for Sen. Sifuna to be reasonable and sit across the table to undertake a very detailed conversation on the emergency disaster response that is going towards assuaging the situation of the people of Nairobi. However, I have seen very interesting comments that Sen. Sifuna has been ‘pocketed’ because of a picture of a meeting in a public place in the presence of other leaders and the media. The point that I am making is, if I am going to be ‘pocketed,’ I will not be ‘pocketed’ in a public place. The Speaker knows that it is impossible to ‘pocket’ Sen. Sifuna, at least not publicly. It cannot happen."}
