Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. You know, when a gentleman who served in the Kenya military asks you to second, you have no choice but to second. I was asking him who is seconding and he said it is me. So, I have to comply....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I hear what Hon. Millie is saying and she has every justification to say whatever she is saying.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am a little mesmerised by the defence that the Leader of the Minority Party has put up. The only unfortunate thing is that he is trying to incite or excite ethnic feelings, but the people of Kenya are more...
