    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. For informational purposes, the Deputy Leader of the Minority Party has no office. You are aware that Hon. Cecily Mbarire and I never had offices for those positions. As the Parliamentary Service Commission, you have been looking around to allocate us offices. We have been operating from the offices of our respective constituencies. It is unfortunate that the Minority Whip did not know that. That is why I said that many things happen on the Floor of this House which he does not know. I do not have an office for that position and you are aware. The only offices that are allocated are for the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party as well as the Majority Whip and the Minority Whip. As deputies, we do not have offices. So, I have nowhere to start packing. It was good information for you to get to know. As I said, he does not know things that are going on. Hon. Speaker, on matters of FORD-K, the Registrar of Political Parties will work on that. As I speak, I am the interim Secretary-General of the party called FORD-K. If at all it will be communicated otherwise, I will respect the rule of law. It is not a must that I continue being the Secretary-General or the Deputy Minority Whip. I will respect whatever communication will come out just the way I did when I was removed from the position of the Deputy Minority Whip because of my association with the Deputy President, William Ruto. Hon. William Ruto holds the Office of the Deputy President and I associated with him particularly on matters of the church. I am the Chair of the Catholic Members of Parliament. I was not removed due to incompetence. I have been rated as one of the best legislators in this House when it comes to legislation which the Minority Whip cannot match. He has never brought any Bill on the Floor of this House. You are aware about it, Hon. Speaker. He only comes here as a comedian and then ges out. In the next five minutes, he will not be here. If we table the number of Bills I have brought on the Floor of this House, which have been assented to by His Excellency the President, they are many. He has never brought any Bill to the Floor of this House apart from comic relief to the legislators. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
