John Mbadi","speaker":{"id":110,"legal_name":"John Mbadi Ng'ong'o","slug":"john-mbadi"},"content":"Therefore, with all due respect to Hon. Ochieng', and he is a good friend of mine, he just has to do the honourable thing in politics and accept if he does not want. I am happy he has declared that he has nothing to do with NASA or ODM. I want him to continue that way because he will cause confusion and cause my ODM Party some pain. I want more numbers in the 13th Parliament and I want Ochieng' to take the position he has taken - that he is away from us - so that we can again deal with him in 2022 properly as NDG against ODM. I will again lead the party. I know he succeeded in defeating my party this time, but I am organising myself better as the Chairman of ODM to face him head on in 2022 and it should start today. However, I ask him to kindly just respond by resigning - leaving our seat and then we will consider him as the Committee on Selection for any committee that we might find available for him. Thank you, Hon. Speaker"}
