"content": "Hon. Speaker, I wish to inform the Leader of Minority Party that we read the letter that was sent by the Speaker of the Senate; me and hon. Shebesh, and it was clear. They said that the Senate must give a given number of Members and the National Assembly must give. So, it is really a way between the Senate and the National Assembly. However, the Senate is trying to pig ride on the fact that at one point there was a disagreement in CORD, which to some extent hon. Duale was right, up to some months ago. That was sorted but as it is now, it is a problem with the letter that was sent to the Speaker of the PAP, which both hon. Shebesh and I saw. We were sworn in, we were allowed to go in, but we were not allowed to debate. Because I and hon. Shebesh are equal to the task, we still stood up on points of order and spoke anyway. But for the ones who had come, they were put outside. So, they were spectators. It was embarrassing because on the same day that we went, the issue of the ICC was on the Table. So, we were sitting like flower girls and the ICC was being debated. So, they better either put us there as Members of the PAP or choose others, but Kenya cannot be discussed at the PAP while Kenyans are there as choir leaders cheering people on."
