    "content": "a police station now. I do not know where he is and I do not care. I hear someone asking me where he is. I want to propose that the Member for Juja be named in this House because he has formed a very bad habit. You will recall last year when Members voted for the Finance Bill, the same Member claimed that they were paid, I think Ksh2,000,000 to vote for the Bill. He came, stood there and apologised. Out of our magnanimity, we chose to forgive him. When the Impeachment Motion came, he then went again to claim at some funeral somewhere that Members were paid during the Impeachment Motion. He is fond of following some other man there. He claimed that the 282 Members who voted in the Impeachment Motion were paid. He mentions figures from his head and I see the person he follows in funerals repeating the same things. That is how you know that birds of a feather flock together. Now he has moved from Members of Parliament on the Finance Bill and Impeachment Motion, to heads of States of friendly countries. We cannot and we must not allow that kind of habit to take root in this House. We must take action and I want to invite one of us to move a Motion to name this Member. This is what makes this House be treated with a lot of contempt and indignity, because of the things that we not only say inside our House, but the ones we have taken outside saying disparaging things about our country, presidents and heads of State of other friendly nations who are friends of Kenya. How do you think those friends of ours who supported the former Prime Minister Raila Odinga would feel if they heard that their heads of state were being paid to vote? It is so annoying. I want to end it there, but we must name this Member. We must!"
