    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the minority will have their say, the majority will have their way. If they have the numbers, they will have their way! But it is important that, as intellectuals, they listen to reasoning from this other side. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have no quarrel with the hon. Members from the Kenya African National Union (KANU) and the FORD(P). Equally, we have no problem with the Member from FORD(K), which is also a party member of the NARC. But those rules, which were passed last week, require that those Members must be elected by the Parliamentary Group Meeting. To my knowledge, no such meeting has ever taken place. That is why it is surprising that a whole Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs can stand before this august House and seek to mislead the House that he has complied with the requirements of the rules. This Government must lead by respecting the rule of law. If this House cannot respect the rule of law and the laws that it has passed itself, how do we expect a common man down there on the streets to respect the rule of law? Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would, therefore, want to finish by urging that this list be totally rejected by this House, except those other parties--- The list that has been provided here has names of the Members from the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC)."
