Kalasinga who was elected to parliament on a Ford Kenya ticket (a member party of Kenya Kwanza) cautioned the Head of State that they are not children and as such he (Ruto) should stop lecturing them on TV.
He added that being a Kenya Kwanza lawmaker is not an excuse to overburden Kenyans.
"Being in Kenya Kwanza does not mean having all the burden, the President should stop lecturing us on TV as small boys," the lawmaker stated ahead of the Bill being presented in Parliament for the Third Reading.

According to the legislator, MPs need to debate the bill and pass good proposals and also rejecting bad ones without the pressure from the leadership that has come to characterize the Finance Bill 2023.
"Give us time as MPs to debate ile kitu mzuri tupitishe na ile mbaya tuondoe. Rais wetu ambaye tunapenda asitupee msomo kwa TV kama sisi ni watoto wachanga. We are not small boys. This is the independence of the mind of the person standing before you the MP of Kabuchai." Kalasinga noted.
