I have seen as we queue to enter Parliament because the gate is narrow some drivers with Members of Parliament in cars crisscross. They find you in the queue but they want to enter before you. Hon. Speaker, it hurts. So, we should learn to respect ourselves, other people and that is how we will earn respect. I am happy that there has not been bad incident like fighting although there was a time when the Mace was nearly taken away. Of late, I have seen that there is a lot of decorum, respect and I had predicted that after ...

Hon. Speaker, I do not know whether this is how we have behaved in the past, but there is something that saddens me very much. This is the judicial interference in the work of Parliament. There is separation of power and the Senate and the National Assembly have never interfered with the judicial system. We have also never interfered with the Executive and nobody should dictate what business we transact or how our calendar should be and what we do. This is because we know our mandate is to legislate, represent our people and play oversight role on the Government ...

I just want to say that if we take that route, the losers will be the Judiciary. This is because budgets are made by Parliament.

Thank you, hon. Speaker. It is good when you have an educated Speaker who understands these things. You move with speed and overlook. I have a lot of respect for hon. Chepkonga but people did not hear what he said because he is very tall and these things are not adjustable.

I want to say that this is very important. Hon. Members never heard what he said. I want to remind him that I am the Minority Leader and not overwhelming Minority. So, we have more governments than Jubilee.

Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I just want to put the record straight. CORD met and we approved the four names that were passed here in this House.

They are the ones who said that National Assembly gave four names instead of three and that is where the problem is. It is not on the side of CORD; it is not on the side of ...
