    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been in politics for almost 20 years and we have struggled very much to ensure that we have multipartism in this country. However, when multipartism came in, people started behaving very carelessly and recklessly; that is jumping from one party to the next. Hon. Bonny Khalwale, whom I believed was a very disciplined guy has been jumping from one party to another. He is looking at me---- People should stick to the parties they want, at least, six months to the election date. I see no reason why people should be panicking now. Even if we pass this Bill today, my appeal to the President is to reject it. Let the so many councillors or Members of Parliament, who are now running from one party to the other, lose these seats so that it serves as an example to the rest of the Kenyans who want to party hop. There is nothing special about 100 people going home. We shall still have quorum here because a quorum is just made of 30 Members of Parliament and business continues. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appeal to President Kibaki to reject this Bill. I also urge the civil society to move to court and reject this Bill."
