Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a golden opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I had the pleasure and the privilege to be at the steps of Harambee House during that historic moment. That day and moment was so important to this country that it will remain in the annals of history that after the elections of 2017, we had a moment of that type – to bring back our country together.

Hon. Speaker, every war in this world has rules. Because my time is five minutes, I want to be fast. The smallest rule in any war is that when the general says you match on, you match on; when the general says you retreat, you retreat; when the general says you resist, you resist; when the general says you hibernate, you hibernate, and when he says dialogue, you dialogue. The last time I checked in our books and records, the Major-General we had in NASA was one Raila Amollo Odinga. The others were lieutenant-generals and other lower cadres. When the ...

Whatever you call it. Those are the only two people who have taken oath; whichever oath you want to state. Nobody else has taken oath!

So, if one oath taker has called another oath taker and has said: “Can we compare our oaths to see which one was constitutional and which one was unconstitutional,” what is your problem? I want to speak to my NASA colleagues. Nothing stops the NASA to continue talking and dialoguing within itself on who is going to be their presidential candidate in 2022, as our leader continues engaging President Uhuru Kenyatta on how to make our country stick together. Nothing stops that initiative. We can still have our presidential candidate as Kalonzo Musyoka, or Wetangula or Musalia Mudavadi! Nothing obstructs ...

That document you have seen signed by the two leaders is for the wellbeing of the country. It is for the good of the country. In spite of my leader meeting the President, it does not mean we have lost our obligation as the ODM to be the Opposition leaders of this country. We will hold the Government accountable here in Parliament by virtue of where I am seated. In mature democracies, Presidents and opposition leaders meet to discuss what is good for the country. They agree and disagree on issues and move on. It is only in our country ...

Hon. Speaker, you know I am almost elevated to a position of deputy principal in the NASA Coalition. You saw where I was, with the principal. Now I am the deputy principal. What is contained in that document is something that is going to live for eternity. You know how our economy went down; you know how communities fought. You could see even the Deputy President was not there. When they finished signing the agreement, they said: “Go and sell this gospel to your people.” Raila Odinga to go and sell to his people in the NASA and Uhuru Kenyatta ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Motion. I am a Member of the Committee. Hon. Wandayi is an example of how a person evolves from a serious guerrilla fighter to a Chairman of PAC. As the Leader of the Majority Party has said, he thinks that he is still in the forest. He needs to come out now to the public, so that people can know he is the Chairman of the PAC. Secondly, the Leader of the Majority Party has come to sit on this side. I am shocked. I do not know what ...

for the next four years. Going forward, the way the Leader of the Majority Party is talking, watch this space. I might end up taking his job because he is going to become the Cabinet Secretary for Interior in that Government. I can see Kenya is in the hands of God. For NASA, you must put your House in order. Nobody will do it for you. When you see ODM doing something, it is doing it in good faith because ODM is the biggest party in East Africa. The ODM is the biggest party in Kenya. It is a fact. ...
