"content": "Hon. Speaker, I am sure people will not agree with me but hon. Uhuru Kenyatta is always in his office at 7.00 a.m. every day. If the President can be in his office at 7.00 a.m. and yet Members of Parliament cannot raise quorum at 9.00 a.m. then that is a poor show. Even the good retired General Nkaissery drives all the way from Kitengela. There are Members who come from Ngong and Thika. I am sure we can redeem our image. As you said, it is for us to be serious. We raised this issue in the House Business Committee (HBC). Let us make sure that we come here and raise the quorum. If we cannot raise 50 Members out of 349, then it is a shame. It is a serious matter. We cannot get 50 Members out of the 349 but, as you said, this is a matter for the membership and I am sure lack of offices should not be an excuse. We will get offices but that should not be an excuse. Those of us who are good Muslims and good Christians pray at 5 o’clock in the morning. After we pray, we do not go back to bed unless there are other reasons which I do not want to say."
