"content": "This Member here! You have difficulties sitting. Right? How can you be roaming like that on the gangways? You move from here to there and stand looking aimless at nothing. You are not in your constituency. You cannot stand and start just looking around like that in the Chamber. That is not fair. This other one, you have problems sitting. We better get over the matter of EALA. Before I propose the Question, Leader of the Majority Party and Leader of the Minority Party have made references to some matters. This House is not party to any dispute before the Political Parties Dispute Tribunal and therefore is unaware. Many of you will recall the wisdom of Hon. Speaker Lendo in January 1642. If anything has happened out there, I have no eyes to see, no ears to hear and therefore it must be out there. The Parliament of Kenya is not a party to any dispute. The disputes which are resolved by the Political Parties Dispute Tribunal are clearly defined within the Political Parties Act. They do not include a dispute about an election being supervised by the Parliament of Kenya. As far as I am concerned, both I and the Hon. Speaker of Senate, who are the Joint Returning Officers in this exercise, are not party to any dispute. Therefore, we must treat that as a mere rumour that is doing the rounds out there. The Political Parties Dispute Tribunal has no authority over the institution of Parliament. Let me propose the Question."
