It is painful in an era of accountability and in a situation where as the majority party in this country, a party that we worked hard and campaigned for to bring to power-- - Where I feel completely lost is not that I have personal problems with the leadership that is purported to have been changed. Kenyans must be asking themselves why or how I work too hard to convince this country that politics is about numbers but at the end of the day, after taking over leadership of the country, then you are forced to have a leader who ...

Precisely, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. If you recall or know, the change of political leadership in a House like this one requires the majority of the numbers of that particular side. When Sen.

There was an order that was served to the Speaker from the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT), not recognizing the coalition agreement between Jubilee and KANU parties. Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, probably you are telling us now, to completely forget about systems, the observance of the rule of law and the adherence to the tribunals that have been set in the Constitution to arbitrate when there are disputes within ourselves.
