issues. They will seek Statements, be they on the ICC or political parties or election financing. It is their right to do so. So, the Leader of Minority Party cannot gag hon. Members. The ICC matter is a reality. It has lived with us for the last five years. We will overcome it. It is a challenge to the country, to the continent and to all and sundry. So, the Leader of Minority Party should know better.

To my good friend, hon. Mbadi, of course I said that you notify the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) of the respective areas in which you want to do demonstration or picketing. Let me clarify that there is no scheme in place. The Government has no intention of creating instability. The Jubilee Coalition can only fulfil its manifesto and pledges in a secure environment. If you look at the Budget, you will appreciate that the Jubilee has allocated more resources to this country’s security institutions.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, in my opinion, hon. Pukose was only speaking as the Member for Endebess. He was not speaking for the URP or the Jubilee Coalition. There is nobody in Government fixing the ably and respectable Deputy President.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, allow me to finish. I know that these are the politics at play. I am assuring Kenyans that we can discuss this matter on the Floor of this House and elsewhere but the discussions will only serve to cement the relationships within the Jubilee Coalition that I ably represent in this House.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, hon. Waititu is, indeed, a great leader if he can really sacrifice his parliamentary seat for the sake of our President. I am sure that the HANSARD is capturing these proceedings. If in February, 2014 the President goes to the ICC, we better have a by-election in his constituency.

The question that hon. Kanini Kega asked me was on NGOs. He never asked me about the utterances of politicians. You can take an opportunity to ask me for another Statement; or, you can ask the Chair of Administration and National Security Committee what politicians do, because maybe yours was to say that politicians are talking; they say they are going to block the airport. I want to say very categorically that when you go to the airport, you can take as many people as possible, but there are designated areas that you cannot--- I am sure when great leaders ...

Mercy Corps have done a good job; unless you have serious intelligence report on Mercy Corps, it will be very sad if we use the Floor of the House to---- I am sure hon. Members sitting here maybe in your constituency, Mercy Corps has done some work or Action aid has done it. Please, let us refrain from using the Floor of the House to raise serious allegations. On the issue of Eliud Owalo, from where I stand, Eliud Owalo does not work for an NGO; he works for a serious coalition in this country. Based on what the Criminal ...

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I did not get what hon. Ochieng’ was saying. I have never flip-flopped in my life. I have never been a pendulum, particularly in politics. Of course, in the last Parliament, there were many politicians who behaved like pendulums. Given an opportunity, hon. Midiwo can even name them. But you see it has mutated to one hon. Charity Ngilu. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Motion can still--- I speak for a coalition and there is no crime if the Leader of Majority Party speaks on behalf of the coalition on any matter The electronic version of ...

that may arise. Whether it will carry the day or not, that is the position. So, hon. Midiwo, I was speaking as per the office that I hold. When matters become serious, who fixes who? If we go to that, then we need to go back to the days when I was in the great party called ODM and say what made me and the Deputy President leave the party. If we go to that history, then we will have a full day to say who fixes who. If there is an idea that some people want to clean others, ...
