    "content": "incapacitated. That is why I very much support Hon. Duale’s idea of relooking at this matter afresh. You cannot have people that aspire only to one thing; political sycophancy and when they do not see it in people, they decide to cut their feet. I say this with a heavy heart because I have been out of committees for eight months and this week I saw more brothers and sisters being de- whipped. We do not know who else is going to be de-whipped. Those acts prove to Kenyans what some of those people would do if they ascended to power. It shows that those people would decide to incapacitate and abuse Members of Parliament because MPs do not represent themselves. Most MPs are elected by 20,000 or 30,000 people. For one person to decide, on their own, that they will curtail the participation of this person who represents 20,000 people is regrettable. Going back to the issue of the DCJ, I also take this opportunity to thank the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), His Excellency the President and his Government for having seen it fit to forward Lady Justice Mbete Mwilu’s name to the House as a fitting tribute to her exemplary career. I wish everybody a good two weeks. I also wish that all those who have been de- whipping people will get converted on the way to the next elections. With those few remarks, I wish you a very good recess as well."
