    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you. Hon. Charles Kilonzo is a good neighbour of mine. I have not mentioned anybody. I have only said that those of us in this House who come from privileged positions, when we talk about the privileged class, do not get constipated. We will say it. There are former Members of Parliament, former State House Comptroller, current Senators, former police commissioners, who as we speak today are at the Mau. As the leader of Government business, I am giving instructions that those big fish that I have mentioned must also be evicted with their tea leaves. I must speak for the poor. Hon. Musimba knows when we speak for the poor, the poor will listen. This House is a mix of poor and privileged people. The Chair, I want to ask you to go to the Mau and do not go to where the peasants live. Go to Kaptagat. Have a session there. You can even fly to Kabarak. Go to Embobut. Go to the former Members of Parliament and ask them who gave them the title deeds for their tea estates. Can we see them on television being evicted the way the other people are being evicted? All of us in Government and in Parliament must support. There is this culture - let me go on record - because in this House I wear two caps which you cannot decide where the line is drawn. I am the Member for Garissa Township, so I have to speak for the people of Garissa Township. When we go to Order No.10, Hon. Kutuny is here, the Bill on land index is mine. So, I should not be threatened that ‘you are the Leader of the Majority and so you should be gagged’. That is why I left the ODM in 2009. They wanted to gag me. I became an opposition and formed URP and got 75 Members of Parliament. Later, we formed Jubilee in which we have 180 Members of Parliament here."
