Having listened to the conversation of Members and their opinions, I would like to request the Leader of the Majority Party to step down the Motion. If he moves it, it has to be decided by Members.

This is a matter that has interests of Members who feel that there is gayism to be discussed and there is interest of Members who are bringing the guests all the way from other countries. So, the two interests must be balanced.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I knew this is not a matter for debate. However, I want to say categorically that the Chief Justice must be respected.

There are institutions that you can joke with, but institutions such as the Judiciary and Parliament must be held at the highest esteem possible. That is because these are people who are exercising delegated sovereign power of the people of Kenya. So, Hon. Speaker, I support the CJ and inform the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party that when the CJ is giving address, he does not need to be surrounded by people. He is the president of the Supreme Court and Chairman of the JSC. He was addressing Kenyans in that capacity. He was not doing it as a ...

When the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party wants to address his people, he must be surrounded by Hon. Members like us, but not the CJ. It is only that Hon.
