    "content": "Before I recognise the Deputy Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. Members, I just want to draw your attention to one fact. This is a Special Sitting. It is interesting that some Members speak very passionately because certain names are either from their constituencies or from their counties or clans or faith. Soon after, they walk out. So, they walk out leaving the names to be approved by whom? You want to speak and say he is somebody from my village and then after that what happens? I have seen quite a number of you doing that. I cannot even forget the guy who was referring to the other as “Chimmy”. Another one was referring to another something else, so many. You speak so passionately because the names here are from your counties, villages, clans and faith. Then, you walk out. The names must be approved today. To be approved, they must be approved by not less than 50 Members sitting, yet you walk out. Therefore, you are leaving those who have no connections with the names to approve. Surely, it is very dishonest. If the names are going to be approved, let them be approved because they are names of Kenyans. I do not want any Member to come and tell me “I know this one. It is so important that I need bonga points.” You get your bonga points and then walk out? Please, contribute because you believe in the names that are there or in the process. Not because the people are your village mates, county mates or clan mates. It is very unfair and a bit dishonest for you to do so and then leave.
