If you ever watched the video of Baks (the Orezo) live on camera calling his chauffer a " pubafu " (pumbavu), for having driven the limo away from the bad rainy weather,  ...... you'd understand why Bomet MP Hon. Nick Salat caused laughter in the houz .... read on below

  MPs were yesterday cautioned against abusive language in the House. National Assembly Speaker Francis ole Kaparo gave the warning after Roads minister Raila Odinga said he was sure Saboti MP Davies Nakitare was not a pumbavu (stupid).

  Mr Odinga was answering the MP, who, in a supplementary question, wished to know when Sogoet Bridge in Bomet constituency would be completed.

  The remark did not go well with some MPs, who claimed that Mr Odinga had used abusive language on a colleague.

  Mr Enock Kibunguchy (Lugari, Narc) asked if the minister was in order to refer to Mr Nakitare as pumbavu.

  The Speaker ruled that such language was not good for orderly conduct of business in the House.

  But Mr Odinga, standing on a point of order, denied referring to Mr Nakitare as pumbavu. He said the Hansard would bear him out.

  "If I said you are not stupid, that is not unparliamentary," said Mr Odinga.

  Health minister Charity Ngilu said it was unparliamentary to use such language, inside or outside the House.

  Bomet MP Nick Salat caused laughter when he said he hoped that all Kenyans would desist from using the word pumbavu (President Kibaki has used the word several times in his public speeches).

  Mr Odinga apologised and withdrew the remarks.
