    "content": "Members of this House without consulting me. I apologise on behalf of FIDA. I have a very good family. FIDA deals with those who have problems in their families. I have been married to my wife for the last 20 years and she has no intention of going to FIDA. FIDA and the civil society groups have one role to play. In all democracies, they can lobby within the framework provided, but they should not resort to blackmail. We all come from different communities. There are men from certain communities who can be blackmailed and intimidated. I am sure in the community that Hon. Gumbo comes from, men cannot be blackmailed. Hon. Pukose is also having issues. This is part of public participation. I confirm that last night, I attended the dinner dance. I gave the position of the Jubilee Coalition. I want to go on record in the HANSARD. Hon. Muthomi Njuki is a Member of Parliament from the Jubilee Coalition, but he does not speak for the Jubilee Coalition. For now, I am the Leader of the Majority Party and the Jubilee Coalition. I am not coercing or intimidating anyone. I have been lobbying Members with regard to other Bills. This Bill is critical to our country. This is the position of the President, the Deputy President and our coalition. It is part of implementing the new Constitution. This House has passed more than 40 other Bills to implement the new Constitution. Why should this Bill be unique? I humbly ask all of us from both sides, including Hon. Gumbo and Hon. Jakoyo, not to look at the sideshows by FIDA. They want to impress their donors. We have legitimacy and have been elected by the people of Kenya. We always make decisions. FIDA is not elected, they are selected in a boardroom. We were elected by the people of Kenya in broad daylight. Hon. Deputy Speaker, protect me from Hon. Fatuma. She has worked at the KNCHR and is still carrying a hangover."
