(Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, this Motion is not about how many Members of Parliament each political party has. The popularity thing is a theory and it exists only in the imagination of the minority. They believe they are very popular but we have never seen that popularity. Last week I was here with my troops and I did not see that popularity. What I saw was a defence mechanism of a group which had been reminded where it belongs. I think seriously what we need in this country is the truth. People should accept where they are. That way, we will have a better country tomorrow. I just want to caution that while I have no serious objections to this Motion, I think I am tempted to introduce those two amendments on the target which should be the national Treasury and secondly, we remove the word “immediately”. Subject to that, I support this Motion and I hope one of these days Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o will pay me by supporting my Motion."}
