    "content": "Further, Hon. Rigathi Gachagua has selectively chosen sections of the Kenya Kwanza Coalition agreement to rely on. He has failed to read the whole document. Clause 20 of the Kenya Kwanza Coalition agreement provides that there is need to achieve an inclusive government that reflects the face of Kenya. Rigathi Gachagua chose not to tell us that the coalition agreement also talked about the face of Kenya and not a company of some people to the exclusion of others. Clause 6 of the agreement provides for respect to constitutionalism. The Articles of the Constitution that I stated provide for respect to the rule of law, national values, principles of government under Article 10, and devolution. Mr Rigathi Gachagua did not tell us that. Clause 22(g) of the coalition agreement among the Kenya Kwanza political parties provides that there will be adjustments that may be necessary to accommodate the development priorities of other parts of the country to ensure equitable distribution of Kenya’s national resources and wealth for the benefit of every citizen and every part of Kenya. Mr Rigathi Gachagua could not tell you this because it was going to destroy his case. Therefore, Hon. Members, I urge you to find that in Mr Rigathi Gachagua’s assertions about shareholding and a company were not in reference to political parties. It was in reference to regions and communities. The evidence we provided remains uncontroverted. This ground must be confirmed."
