    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would ask the Leader of the Majority Party to indulge me for a moment so that he may hear what I have to say this precious morning about the baba na mama. I take serious offence when the Leader of the Majority Party tries to create an impression that KANU did not vote for President Uhuru Kenyatta. I was the Chief Whip of KANU in the last Parliament. I was a Member of Parliament of KANU and President Kenyatta was our Chairman. The Leader of the Majority Party should not in any way try to mislead this House by saying that KANU never voted for President Uhuru Kenyatta. In any case, he needs also to know that voting is by secret ballot. So, I do not know on what basis he is trying to create that impression. Secondly, on the baba na mama, this Political Parties Bill or whatever Jubilee is trying to do is to bring people together to form one party. If you remember, baba mwenyewe said all these small parties, despite the fact that I respect the issue of the right to expression and the right to associate, would balkanise this country. To the extent that he said that, the only way to get a united Kenya is trying to remain within one party. This is what Jubilee is trying to do 15 years after former President Moi had talked about it. I do not think it is fair."
