    "content": "I apologize, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am informing the Chair that I am opposing this Motion. This habit of running this country on the old habits; taking this House for granted, calling a Government which is a Coalition Government “my Government” and imposing lists on hon. Members who have been elected by the people of Kenya must be rejected. If this Government feels that they can come to this House, use strong-arm tactics and get away with it, those days are numbered. This morning, we are going to show them how we are going to do it from now henceforth. This list must be rejected for the reasons that there has been no consultation. It is not representative, it is not gender sensitive and it is not a consensus team of the HBC. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is not about political parties, the President or the Leader of Government Business. It is a House Business Committee and, therefore, it should have the confidence of every representative in this House. As constituted, this list does not meet those requirements. Therefore, I oppose it and say that we must reject it."
