Hon. Speaker, the kind of treatment that Members of Parliament from the National Super Alliance (NASA) Coalition are facing is different from what the Members of the Jubilee Party (JP) are facing.

Otherwise, I cannot go against your ruling. You have thrown out my Leader of the Minority Party from the House and do not throw me out also. We were just putting our allegiance to the peoples’ president. You know who he is – Raila Amolo Odinga. That is the only president.
