"content": "Do not be so nervous, he is a Kenyan! If His Excellency Raila Odinga were president - watch my English! These are all conditionals; do not get your feathers ruffled too easily! Let us get back to the point. I am telling you that if he were President at State House, Jubilee would still have chairs of those committees by virtue of their majority in this House and their tyranny of numbers. But the tradition in America is that vice-chairs of committees would come from the CORD Alliance. So, let us not pretend that any of these situations that are dynamic would be permanent. There are traditions and systems which work even when there is discordance between these two branches of Government. The minority party with fewer numbers in those committees would still have to lobby their members to pass Bills. This is important because it is a democracy and power comes from the people. The supreme power comes from the voter; it does not come from Parliament itself. Parliament is a representation of the will and the voice of the Kenyan people. The Presidency serves distinct functions as the executive leadership of Government in one branch and there is a reason for that. If Kenyans in their wisdom decided to have President Raila and a Jubilee leader in Parliament, that would be right too."
