(Ms.) Odhiambo-Mabona","speaker":{"id":376,"legal_name":"Millie Grace Akoth Odhiambo Mabona","slug":"millie-odhiambo-mabona"},"content":" Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for indulging me. I am talking about something different arising from the vote. I was in a funeral service so I have come late. I am not a person to shy away from anything - any vote of any nature. Hon. Wamalwa called me earlier. I was vehemently opposing him yesterday. When he called me earlier, he almost persuaded me. So, I was coming to see which way because I am fairly ambivalent about the date. I do not care whether people vote in December or August. This is not one of those things that I am very passionate about. Having said that and I cannot shy away, it is regrettable that an honourable Member, the age of my grandfather, threatens to beat me because I am not in the House. Hon. Moroto is threatening to beat me outside as I am getting in because I am not in the House. Out of respect for him, because he is the age of my grandfather, I cannot fight with him. I want to tell Hon. Moroto this: I really respect you and even if I do not respect you, I respect your age. I cannot fight with you because of that. Otherwise, I do not fear. I can take the bull by the horns but he is the age of my grandfather. I cannot fight with him."}
