"content": "That is a new Member. You need to learn the ropes. It is Hon. Speaker who gave me the chance. You will speak if you want to. The House Business Committee gave Hon. Mbadi, Hon. Junet and Hon. Makali Mulu who represented the minority in the HBC until 11.00 a.m. this morning to put their House in order. They could not. At 12.30 p.m., as you directed, I came and gave a notice of Motion for one Ben Momanyi.

They are qualified for the 5 per cent of the House. Until 2022, WDM-K will be with you here; whether you call them dogs or not. So, let us discuss the serious matter of the House. Your orders and orders of the HBC have been complied with. Hon. Ben Momanyi is not a surrogate Member of Parliament. He is an MP by right. Anyone of us here can be a member of the Parliamentary Service Commission. There are no sacred cows; there is no animal farm in this House. Hon. Keynan is equal like any other Member of the JP. Whether you like it or not, Hon. Ben Momanyi’s fate lies with this House tomorrow afternoon. It does not lie with the JP. We need to move. Let us give our colleagues time to go and do their NEC or a Parliamentary Group (PG) meeting. They can consult Baba. They can consult the whole rank and file of the Orange The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
