"content": "I do not have time to ask Hon. Duale for any favour because he does not have that power. We want to address this matter to the right authority. We are addressing you not only as the Speaker of the National Assembly but also as the Chairman of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). My security was withdrawn and one of my vehicles was taken away. I am even wondering why they have not taken another one because I have my vehicles. If anything, the people of Kenya are very generous because they have given me a car grant to buy another vehicle. So, I can use my personal vehicle. However, the fundamental question is: “Am I not holding a constitutional office as the Leader of the Minority Party?” In fact, that is where I am more concerned. You may not like Hon. Mbadi as a person. I am not referring to the Speaker. I am saying someone somewhere may not like Hon. Mbadi but there is the Office of the Leader of the Minority Party. As we speak, I occupy that Office. It was such a shame that the secretary to the PSC who is the Clerk of the Senate was not even aware that someone had taken property that belongs to Parliament to Vigilance House. That is the vehicle which was assigned to me by Parliament. The Clerk has been following to have the vehicle brought back to Parliament. Even if they were to take it, they should have the courtesy to tow and keep it in Parliament."
