"content": "and do oversight. So, we must amend the Standing Orders. What I did might not be cast in stone. It was free advice and I was talking from experience. Hon. Kaluma is an independent minded Member of Parliament. He has to balance. I am told if they have rallies in Homa Bay and Siaya counties, whoever insults Hon. Duale more is cheered. That means that crowd has some specific attributes and taste. Policy is about how you strategically position yourself. I did not become the Leader of the Majority Party just by fluke. I was sacked. I sacrificed. I formed a party. I campaigned and that is why the leadership recognised my contribution to the party. Parties are built. If you want to inherit my seat, you must prove otherwise. If you want to inherit the seat of the Leader of the Minority Party, you must prove otherwise. So, I was only giving general and free advice. There are those who can come through small parties. We have many from FORD (K), the National Development Party (NDP) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). So, Hon. Ken Obura and Hon. Munuve can try that. However, if you want to become a Member of Parliament in Nyanza, the probability of you coming to this House is higher if you align yourself to Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga. That is why even independent minded leaders like Hon. Milllie Odhiambo at times shift."
