Washiali! Yes. Not being very familiar with the Kikuyu language, he mistook the Mugithi with Mungiki. Those are two very different groups. I would like to herald the Speech by the United States (US) President who visited us.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to support the Adjournment Motion moved by the Leader of the Majority Party. I would like to take cognisance of the good work that this House has done so far and in particular the Division of Revenue Bill which was a difficult Bill to pass in this House. We all remember that this House and the Senate were locked in a tussle. However, we were able to unlock this particular dispute in whatever way we did.

We have also seen previously the issue of Dr. Monica Juma. Quite a number of us were lambasted that we were voting machines. There were even accusations of compromise which is unfortunate.

The other thing is alcoholism. We would not want Kenya to be a drinking or drunk nation. It is unfortunate that very early in the morning, you find people in the bars.

Let it be: “ Baada ya kazi but not badala ya kazi .”
