"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I did not know that it died after the Chair left. But the point is that it is very sad history that such a party, which had received national outlook, collapsed just like that. In the same manner FORD Kenya suffered immensely when Jaramogi was no longer living. There was a fight between Jaramogi’s son and Wamalwa. Wamalwa won in Thika and we all know that. He tried his best to also run this party and when he joined NARC, we did not know whether or not it was corporate. The party started dwindling down. The Senate Minority Leader is trying to keep it afloat and I think that it is one of the few parties which were formed during the multiparty era that are trying. The Kenya African National Union (KANU) was a very strong political party that was part of the fight for the independence of this country. Ultimately, it merged with KADU and ran this country for so many years. But it collapsed spectacularly when the former President Moi retired and went home; but even then KANU had been marketed so much. It has a lot of property across the country. It is also represented in this House, but it is not in its initial form, except that it has its disciples in different parties and the opposite sides of this country.
