    "content": "Under the Constitution, we have three fundamental functions: to oversee, represent and legislate. Oversight falls within Committees. When you deny a Member of this House, whether he is Hon. Ken Obura, Hon. Duale, Hon. Keter or Hon. Mwashetani you deny him that chance. I am speaking because I was a victim of this circumstance in the last Parliament. I must speak for the voiceless. We cannot have the cake and eat it. We cannot claim to be a democratic party and at the same time--- I come from a region where the big boys do not exit. Just because Hon. Kaluma or Hon. Mbadi come from an area which is enclaved that you cannot breathe and move, you cannot transfer that brand of politics to the rest of Kenya. That must be denied. Kenya must be one and democracy must exist. There is no democracy. Why am I saying so? In 2009, I was a ranking and founding member of ODM and I said it in a parliamentary group meeting attended by among others Hon. Mbadi. I come from the North, the desert where I enjoy a lot of freedom. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
