"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The courts are intending to throw this House under the bus, and we must be very careful. In the 48 Laws of Power, if you want to disperse the flock, you strike the shepherd. You are the shepherd of this House. Striking you would disperse the flock of this House. As you retire to make your judgement, I want to bring to your notice that once, this House was led by senior people. I remember well in 1993-1994, FORD Kenya was the Majority Party under the Leader of the Opposition, Hon. Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. But the moment FORD Kenya split into two, that is FORD Kenya and Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), seats fell from 44 to 22, and Hon. Mwai Kibaki and the Deputy President took over this House as the leaders of the Opposition. That tells you that House leadership is dynamic. You can never step in a river twice. If you do that, you are a different man in different waters. Make a decision according to the dynamics of this House. Having heard what Hon. Murugara has said here, make the decision as is today. Give your evidence and declare Hon. Ichung’wah as the Leader of the Majority Party, as is the case today. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
