Raila has said that he was not scared of the no-confidence Motion, and that he was ready to go and bake mandazis (doughnuts) in his backyard in Kibera slums. He caused laughter in parliament when he said he was unbwogable (unbeatable).
"The PM does not fear a no-confidence Motion, the PM is "unbwogable" and is ready to sell mandazis in Kibera," he said amid laughter.
Imanyara then rose on a point of order, saying members were unfamiliar with the term unbwogable as it was unparliamentary.
Speaker Kenneth Marende then chipped in: "The PM, what is this word unbwogable?"
Raila then chuckled and replied that perhaps Imanyara had not been living in the country, causing bursts of laughter.
Added Raila: "I have not seen any of the ministers fighting. Nothing can be further from the truth, there has been no fighting between the PM and a minister.
"Disagreements are, however, healthy".
Raila dared those plotting a motion of no confidence against him to go ahead saying he remains unshaken.
Raila says he is ready to face his detractors and called on cabinet ministers not satisfied with the collective will of the government to step aside.
Terming the wave of reforms as unstoppable, Raila said he stood by his actions to implement government policies and no one would stand in his.
In a direct reference to his differences with Agriculture Minister William Ruto, Raila said no one was indispensable and cabinet members uncomfortable with the government can quit.
Raila who was taking parliament through the journey of reforms so far undertaken said Kenya was a democratic society, and divergence in opinion should not be seen as portending doom.
MP's allied to Ruto had threatened to tabled a Censure Motion against the PM before the House goes on recess for debate early next year.
However, Ruto on Tuesday dismissed the planned confidence vote as unnecessary.
He cautioned his colleagues over the Motion arguing such a move against the PM could have negative implications on the country's political landscape.
he is unbwogable.
