    "content": "I have not called the President any names. It is not an insult to the President when you say that what the President said is incorrect. When you say that the facts that the President gave to the nation are not consistent with the facts as we know them, it is not an insult to the President. This is the ‘Upper House’, so the latitude of freedom and the latitude of critique is even greater and should be protected. I have no doubt that you will protect this even with your life because I know you. I am sorry if I have rubbed you the wrong way but that will not stop me from taking the responsibility of the opposition that I lead. My colleagues, Raila, Musalia and Kalonzo, are not in Parliament. It is only Sen. Wetangula who is in Parliament. When I stand here, I am speaking for the other half of the country that is not able to bring their voice here. In competitive politics, why would we want to replace Jubilee if they are so good? If we stand here and say that they scored A+on roads, A- in water and A- in electricity. In that case, we will not seek then to replace them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to finish by saying that I do not and I have never wished to disrespect anybody. I respect everybody. I walk to the Office of the Deputy Speaker to consult him, laugh with him and have tea with him more than he has ever walked to mine. This is because I value him as a friend. I value the friendship with respect. I do the same with you and everybody. I respect everybody but that will never stop me from saying what I think I ought to say to better things in the country."
