    "content": " Hon. Speaker, having listened to the House, I want to indulge you. The proceedings of the House - The HANSARD - are serious. If you want to hear what the late Tom Mboya, the late Jomo Kenyatta, the late Oginga Odinga and many other leaders said, you just get the verbatim report or listen to the audio. I am a staunch Muslim and a practising one. I abhor homosexuality. In fact, if I hear about it, I vomit. By moving the Motion, I will go into history that I moved a Motion that allowed the discussion of something detestable in the Chamber. By accident, a homosexual might come and sit on my chair, namely, the chair of the Leader of the Majority Party, and I will have to use the same chair the next afternoon. Hon. Speaker, on behalf of the House Business Committee (HBC), I decline to move this Motion. Anybody else including Hon. Ochanda, should pick it from where it is. Hon. Speaker, you are the Chair of the HBC. The Leader of the Minority and the Whips are also Members. I decline to move. In any case, our Members have been refused registration. I have never seen a scenario where a caucus of that type… We have even hosted the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in this country, but at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC). They never came to the Chamber. The only people who are allowed in the Chamber are our colleagues at the East Africa Legislative Assembly (EALA), who are part of us. I have never seen strangers sit in the House of Commons in the United Kingdom or the Congress in the United States of America.
