Jaguar was forced to momentarily cut short his maiden
speech after some of his fellow MPs broke out into song mid-speech.
The song they were singing was Jaguar’s 2011 Hit
‘Kigeugeu’ where he takes shots at politicians calling them Vigeugeu which
means two-faced.
As E Daily reports, breaking out in a song was not enough
as some booed him when he called himself ‘The Landlord of Parliament’ as his
constituency houses Parliament Buildings.
“Mr Speaker, I am telling the honourable members that I
am the landlord of this House because the Parliament Buildings are located in
Starehe constituency,” Jaguar said eliciting the jeers .
Later, some MPs butted in when he used the local slang
‘Sheng’ during his speech.
A situation that forced Deputy Speaker Moses Cheboi to
come in and control the drama before it got out of hand.
Cheboi put his foot down by saying “I want to repeat
that there will be no interruptions, other than members must speak the language
which they started using when they started addressing the House. So, nobody
will interrupt honourable Jaguar, at all!”
Once the house had settled down, Jaguar proceeded with
his speech and thanked Starehe Constituency residents for electing him as their
MP.
“Thank you Mr Speaker. I want to thank the Starehe people
for trusting a youthful leader against all odds. They stood firm and voted for
me overwhelmingly. This is indeed very rare in Kenya. I promise that I will not
let them down.” He said
Jaguar then spoke on the song ‘Kigeugeu’ which had caused
a pandemonium in parliament “Mr Speaker Sir, and the Government, as you
all know, before I joined politics I came from the music industry. I am the one
who sang the song Kigeugeu and honourable members have been urging me to
withdraw the song because I have now joined politics. But if you listen to the
song, it does not touch on politicians only. It touches on all evils that
happen in this country and the rest of the world.”
He then concluded his speech with “In conclusion, I
want to say that we have Bonly one country called Kenya; and it is one of
the best places to live in this world; let us not divide it through petty
politics and shenanigans. This country is bigger than all of us. Leadership is
not a privilege; it is a responsibility.”
