Hon. Temporary Speaker, my punishment was for that particular sitting. The Speaker said I would be out of Parliament for the remainder of the sitting, not for the whole session of Parliament. It was for that day only.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Before I proceed with the response, I wish to raise a very disturbing and crucial matter that has come to our attention. We have learnt of press statements by the former Deputy President concerning the President’s recent visit to Mandera County. He imputed improper motive...

The way he behaves and acts shows that he is mentally disturbed and deranged. The words he spoke in America cannot be spoken by somebody who is mentally okay.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I agree with you. My point is that Rigathi Gachagua was once a deputy president, and the statements that he makes should befit the office that he once held. He is somebody of importance to us. While out there, he is speaking ill of this country. In...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, many other personalities have been asked not to step into this country, and they are out there. In fact, that was done illegally. This man is a threat to national security, given the way he speaks. He talked about the President meeting with Al-Shabaab.

He has talked ill of the Somali community more than once, and I think that man ... We will even prosecute him in Court through a civil case. I am not withdrawing.
